I heard something on the radio this week which caught my attention.

The intended audience for this blog is adult children or other relatives caring for their parents.

On Tuesday evening I was running a session on Communication and Behaviour with a Support 4 Memory group.

You may or may not have heard the term “Person-Centred care” used in the Tibbs Dementia community.

This goal of maintaining independence cannot be sustained indefinitely.

At one of the Clear Voices groups this week we had a very interesting discussion about ways in which people cope with the experience of living with dementia.

This is my first blog of 2018.

This week Sarah and I attended a focus group organised by the Health and Wellbeing Board and Bedford Borough to look at the question of End-of-Life Care and how the care pathway could be improved.

I’m sure we’re all familiar with the idea of dementia as a journey – as the condition deteriorates and the person with it passes from the early, through the middle to the late stage.

So - we’re in election time – again! I was listening to the radio this week to a piece about how the different political parties have key messages which they want to get across.
