What you need
Intro
As dementia progresses, reconnecting with cherished memories can be a comforting and enriching experience. Rather than relying on direct questioning, which can be overwhelming, this approach focuses on creating a relaxed atmosphere for sharing stories. By offering gentle prompts, sharing your experiences and suggestions based on the individual's life, this activity aims to stimulate memories in a supportive and enjoyable way.
The length of these reminiscence sessions is flexible and should be guided by the participant's engagement and enjoyment. The provided questions and prompts serve as a helpful starting point, but feel free to adapt them to suit the group and individual needs. The goal is to create a warm and inviting space where memories can be shared freely and comfortably.
