The Heritage100 Roadshow had a positive effect with our Elders, many of whom have a disability and or level of dementia. Along with stimulation and pleasure for all our attending Elders who are often socially isolated due to being ambulant than many of their peers. It created discussion among Elders who learned more about their peers; volunteers and staff also benefited in hearing stories and joined in with discussion. We can learn much about individuals with support needs in a relaxed setting where people feel engaged. Reminiscing is a good tool for social pleasure and professional observation.
Very many thanks for your visit to our Take-A-Break group on Tuesday 26 February. The feedback I received from the group and the volunteers was very appreciative and apparently it triggered discussion the following week, as is often the way when one has time to process information. Even though this group is not familiar with technology, they seemed to embrace the idea. Once again, thank you for your visit.
I would like to thank everyone who was involved in the Heritage100 Roadshow at Woodlands House in Gosport on Tuesday. The residents had a great time and one has even been inspired to go out and buy an iPad! The residents enjoyed it so much they have organised their own reminiscence event later in the month.
