The Care4MH team have a passion for providing care to the older person. Our clinicians, Clare and Rhonda, spend the majority of their clinical hours visiting residents living in aged care facilities and supporting them and their families to come to terms with the often difficult life-stage transition. We’re frequently asked what we do for people who are experiencing memory loss due to dementia, as the person may not even remember the session This is somewhat true however, the goals oof therapy are usually to improve the symptoms of depression and anxiety and most importantly improve the person’s quality of life.
Therapy often focuses on reminiscing and sensory activation to dig deep into the long term memory. This YouTube clip is a beautiful example of how supporting people to find those lost memories can have a positive effect on their wellbeing.
Please take the time to allow your loved ones time to walk through their history pages because trust us it’s worth it 💞💞
