The rhyme and reason of reading to dementia patients
Following on from Claire's post about TRO in The Times...
There's a piece in Society Guardian today about Katie Clark's work in dementia care homes and the publication of our anthology, A Little, Aloud, which we hope to see in every care home in the UK very soon:
It's really hard when family members have developed dementia. They can't remember the people you're talking about, or even what day it is. You want to go and visit people and have a nice time with them, but what do you talk about? The book is a wonderful resource for sharing something together.
If you work in or visit care homes or hospitals, please do buy a copy of A Little, Aloud: it will give you, and the person you care for, some very special moments.
