We enjoyed a little of everything this week: singing, puzzles, poems, games and a visit from Suzanne Griffiths-Rees and her colleague Stirling.

Suzanne works with Peoplespeakup and leads creative-based visits to groups and people’s homes, especially, but not exclusively, to the homes of those who are house-bound or isolated for whatever reason.

Stirling led a gentle but uplifting physical session from the comfort of our seats which helped us to stretch a little, relax and breathe. Needless to say there was lots of laughter, a bit of banter and a lot of fun.

If you feel you would benefit from a visit from Suzanne’s team please contact her directly or we could pass on your details. Remember this is a FREE service, offering fortnightly visits to your home over a number of months, bringing a wide range of creative experiences to help improve your well-being. What have you got to lose?

🧠 What the Brain Needs Most

Dementia changes the brain, but it does not erase the person’s need for love, dignity, safety, and connection.

Each part of the brain has a different role. As dementia progresses, those areas begin to work differently, which is why our approach to care must change too.

The frontal lobe needs calm guidance rather than correction.

The temporal lobe responds to familiar voices, music, and cherished memories.

The parietal lobe benefits from routines, visual cues, and an environment that feels safe.

The occipital lobe needs simplicity, good lighting, and reduced clutter to make sense of the world.

The cerebellum depends on slow movements, patience, and thoughtful support to help prevent falls and injuries.

When we understand what each part of the brain is struggling to do, we stop asking, “Why are they behaving this way?” and begin asking, “What does their brain need from me right now?”

That simple shift changes everything.

The goal of dementia care is not to bring the person back to our reality. The goal is to enter theirs with compassion, understanding, and respect.

Because the best dementia care doesn’t fight the changing brain. It adapts to it.

💙 Love is stronger than memory.
