ALL ABOUT ME:

This pocket really is all about your loved one, their name, family and friends and their likes and dislikes.
There is also a small clear pocket for family or personal photos.
Having this information readily available to carers will give your loved one a true sense of identity and a feeling of being loved.
It can be especially comforting to your loved one if they are planning to reside in a Nursing Home.
These details can be completed by your loved one, a family member or a carer.

BYGONE DAYS:

The photos have been carefully selected to trigger a memory for your loved one.
They can be used by families and carers to start a conversation about times gone by and outings or activities that have taken place.
Memories are important for your loved one to make an emotional connection with a period in time and what better way to do this than with a family member.
