This guide explains how Pictures to Share books can be used to support person-centred care by

• encouraging meaningful communication with staff
• helping residents to talk about their feelings and their history
• allowing staff to learn more about residents and so improve their care
• making visits more enjoyable for residents and their relatives
• giving residents an everyday, easy and enjoyable activity

The guide explains how Pictures to Share books have been specially designed to engage those with dementia by the use of well-researched images and texts. It shows how all sorts of images can really work, not just the type of old photographs that are used so often in traditional reminiscence work.

This guide is a valuable resource for all care home staff, whether those involved in activity provision or those involved in dementia care on a day-to-day basis.
