Talking Dementia: Festive Tips for Celebrations

#Family Carer

In this Christmas episode, we're joined by author and dementia champion Agnes Houston, and Dementia Consultants Colleen McDonald and Ashley Roberts, to share their experience of how to make your holiday event fun for everyone in the family.  

Agnes talks about the sensory impacts of dementia on the person, and what to consider when including a person with dementia at busy and often noisy occasions.

Colleen shares her thoughts on how to plan and present the festive feast so the person with dementia can take part.

Ashley focuses on the importance of looking after yourself at this busy time, taking a break, and sharing the caring role with others.
