The amount of resources currently available in the UK for
people with dementia is small. In this section of our website we hope to
provide some information about resources that may be of interest to those with
dementia, their carers, friends and relatives.
The most exciting addition to our website resources is
the library of You Tube clips where you can access a wealth of music and film
clips. If you can use the internet and have access preferably to a laptop
computer, this can allow you to take an interactive music session direct to the
armchair of a person with dementia. It can be a really enjoyable activity for
all generations to share.
There is advice on using colouring activities - something
that many people with dementia enjoy. Although drawing and painting from
scratch is an activity that some people with dementia are happy to do, for many
who have not been involved in creative activity of this kind in their earlier
lives, the challenge is too great. Suitable colouring activities can provide a
safe and comforting alternative.
