On the 1st floor of our care home we have many people who are isolated through Dementia, can you instigate a conversation and bring people into a happier place through conversation? Stephen likes classical music, word games and crossword puzzles, would benefit from being is a small group. Rita used to be a beautician who had a passion for her job until she retired, she likes listening to frank Sinatra and loves a chat, though would need someone to instigate the conversation. Could you be the befriender to make their day? You will be Visiting an individual or a few individuals at Betty and Asher Loftus Centre homes. Engaging them with conversation.
