#AlzChat Include PLWD in Research & Policy: Too often, decisions are made for them, not with them. Support initiatives that involve lived experience in co-designing services, research, and advocacy. It is time to shift from passive recipient to active contributor.


We've done a lot of music-doodles over the years! Moving colourful pens or crayons in time to music. Good fun! #AlzChat @KarrieMarshall @IRememberBetter

Some individuals write notes about what they want to share; and more importantly about how they wish to be treated by their family / friends. The diagnosis may come as a shock, or a relief. It's important to be clear about what would help induce a supportive response. #AlzChat

so true! There is a wisdom and connection that many people miss because they are busy counting the mistakes or lost words or symptoms. 😘 #AlzChat


A group poem by ppl living with dementia: 'Poetry In Motion' book. You would need thermal underwear Get the log house insulated Find plenty of logs to burn Have a kettle on a long chain Boiling in the old hearth fire Fetch oil lamps and big white candles Make it ...cosy #AlzChat


Poetry In Motion grew out of Creativity in Care’s 2014 project ‘Old Possums’ working with people of all ages, including ppl living with dementia who wrote fabulous poems of the moment, or a memory, plus group poems. #AlzChat

Saw a post earlier... about the power of music and hymns to reignite something in a person that may at times seem lost... and that stirs the soul in other people too. #Connection #AlzChat

Many of our socially engaged projects are intergenerational. This one took place in #Cromarty where intergenerational projects are regularly supported. Arts, gardening, cooking, computer courses, and board games are some of the many ways to connect the generations. #AlzChat

Hello @creativitycare, thank you ever so much for your kind words, understanding & encouragement! It's been such a pleasure contributing to #AlzChat and engaging with this wonderful community. I'm juggling different projects simultaneously, so I may not always be present for 8pm.
