Amazing afternoon yesterday at Minster Mills spa with my #love @wolfie_10
It’s always good to recharge your batteries ❤️
Thank you for always having my back x
The best advice is always from the heart … listen and learn from those living with #dementia to truly understand how best to support them 💙
It’s not easy to talk about these things, but it’s vital to have everything in order whilst you can still make those important decisions whilst you still can 💙 #PlanAhead #Will

#AlzAuthors is a fabulous resource if you are caring for a loved one who lives with #dementia 💙
It’s so important to share stories and resources so that we can continue to learn and support in the best way x

The one thing I always tell the families that I support who have a loved one with #dementia - the word or the name may be forgotten, but the feeling and the love will always remain 💕💙
My Mom stopped calling me Patti or identifying me as her daughter, but it’s pretty clear to me that it didn’t stop her for loving me. 🥰
She called me “you” and I was clearly her #safespace.

This just shows how even if living with #dementia you retain your inner sense of #self! Feelings will always remain - It’s so important to remember this in #DementiaCare 💙
My patient has advanced #AD. Can't recognise his home - but finds his way to his room every time. Can't explain who his wife is - but chooses her company over anyone else. Doesn't remember he dislikes onion - but will push it aside on the plate.

All of the scarves! Love this 💙Can’t wait to see them in their glory wrapped around @RoyalAlbertHall for @lbsorg 🧶 🪡
We’ve finished collecting scarves and they will now be sorted, measured and sewn together, ready to wrap around the @RoyalAlbertHall.
The response has been incredible - thank you!

Huge congratulations to @Vicky_McClure - a very well deserved achievement 👏- her passion for #dementia is next to none 💙 A truly admirable lady
Congratulations to our Ambassador @vicky_McClure on receiving an honorary degree for her incredible work on dementia.
Vicky's must-watch inspirational speech shows why her dedication to shining the spotlight on dementia is so important and means so much.💙
Carers do an amazing job & are undervalued in society. For them it’s 24/7 job with no ‘home time’ at the end of the day. I really do feel so privileged that families let me into their lives to allow me to support them on their journey 💙🦋#carers #dementia #dementiaoxfordshire
When you don’t expect any thanks for doing something towards a cause that you feel so strongly about but get a lovely handwritten card 💙💙 @lbsorg #dementia #AScarfForLewy
Gutted I can’t be there for help the @lbsorg with their #AScarfForLewy at @RoyalAlbertHall - will be an amazing event to be involved in if you can to help raise awareness! Will be looking to see if I can spot@my scarf! 🧶
Checking out the @RoyalAlbertHall today, ahead of #AScarfForLewy on 22nd September.
If you want to help us wrap a giant scarf around this beautiful building to raise awareness of Lewy body dementia, please sign up here: eventbrite.co.uk/e/volunteer…

The time that the most amazing @WendyPMitchell joined the sharing group for people living with #dementia run by @MelissaSpearnut that I’m lucky enough to be a part of! I was just a tad star struck 💙🦋 #DementiaOxfordshire
The Carers Guide by @alzheimerssoc is a brilliant resource - I hand these to the carers all of my new clients following on from the diagnosis 💙🦋
'Dementia is so all consuming. When you’re alone, and you don’t know what to do, it helps to have something at hand.'
Louise has been caring for her mum Marion, who has been living with dementia with Lewy bodies. A vital source of support for Louise has been our carers guide.
ALT A photo of Louise and her mum sat in the garden, drinking tea. Marion is looking at the camera and smiling, while Louise is smiling at her mum.
Shocking to read this. Some of the people I support living with #dementia have live in carers & they do an amazing job. As with most care jobs, certainly for me anyway, it’s about the joy of the job because it certainly isn’t for the money, so to be treated this way is appalling
