reminiscence
As a formal activity, reminiscence is now a well-established means of encouraging communication and understanding between the elderly. It is a valuable way of acknowledging both the differences and similarities between client’s experiences. Through reminiscence, clients can enjoy the satisfaction of discovering that others have similar memories to theirs, and in our sessions we facilitate these conversations and discoveries in a gentle and safe manner.
quizzes
Stimulating memory whilst encouraging friendly competition, quizzes can provide the opportunity for wide participation and are a great group activity, especially for more vocal clients! We use relevant literature and encourage quizzes on topical subjects or seasons, and can of course respond to specific requirements.
