”LETS GET TALKING” by Michael Broughton

A new initiative to stimulate communication among the elderly and people living with dementia has been developed by Hallmark Healthcare.

The ‘Lets Get Talking’ initiative, which is the brainchild of Michael Broughton, Head of Dementia Care at Hallmark Healthcare, is based on developing a different topic of conversation for every day of year.

The aim is that the Lets Get Talking will spark memories and create a feeling of well being amongst residents as they discuss familiar topics with other residents, family members, visitors and the Hallmark Healthcare care team. It also provides some daily fun for the residents as encouraging conversation with our residents living with dementia and elderly people in general is very important.

BUDDING AUTHORS UNCOVERED

Residents at Ty Enfys Care Home have triumphed in the Eisteddfod writing competition taking first place.

A team of elderly residents at Ty Enfys Care Home were awarded joint first prize in the over 50’s writing competition organised by Help the Aged.

The resident’s entry pulled at the heart strings of organisers as they based their heart-warming entry based on their own individual experiences and memories.
The residents were encouraged to visualise the skeleton of the story and the gaps were filled in. The competition allowed the residents to reminisce about the past which sparked feelings and memories that they hadn’t experienced for some time. It was a great tool for communication and interaction between all the residents involved in the development of the story”.

For those residents who were not involved in the writing, they had the pleasure and enjoyment of reading a story written by one of their fellow residents.

SCHOOL CHILDREN ARE BLOOMING LOVELY

Children from Abercanaid Community School in Merthyr Tydfil have unveiled their blooming marvellous watercolour pictures at Greenhill Manor Care Home.

The children (with Ria Davies, Mollie Pullman, Sonny Murphy all from Year 6 pictured left), have produced a collection of beautiful watercolour pictures to help illustrate the names of the twelve wings at Greenhill Manor Care Home.

Jacqueline Farguson, Standards Manager for Hallmark Healthcare, approached Abercanaid Community School with the idea for the children to create bright and colourful images to display around the home. It has also provided the home with an opportunity to interact with it’s local community which is something that Hallmark Healthcare feels very strongly about.
