  5. More than 500,000 people in England now have a formal dementia diagnosis

    Why are dementia cases in England rising in 2025? Over 500,000 people now have a diagnosis, meaning families need more help as care home beds become harder to find.

  6. The number of people with dementia in England rose to 506,549 this year. This is 16,386 more people than last year, which is putting a lot of pressure on care homes and staff.

  7. And I hear the facility is planning on stopping the new locked-ward resident having a mobile phone.

    These day's removing a person's mobile phone looks like acting to socially isolate them.

    This does not appear to be consistent with maintaining existing skills nor with supporting the resident in maintaining friendships & relationships.

    Both of these are, AIUI, effective in slowing the progression of dementia.

  9. Today’s small moment: while browsing Amazon for games and puzzles suited for someone with dementia, I stumbled across Rack-O — the classic “rack ’em & score” card game.

    Instantly transported back to the 1970s, when my friends and I played it endlessly. We absolutely loved that game, and seeing it again brought a simple, unexpected smile.

  11. CW: Competency

    3/n
    Chemical straight-jacket/antipsychotics seem to have reduced memory/recall to extent that the relative is now very sloppy, with very reduced memory.

    A ward staffed by large muscular jocks/wrestlers where medication is reduced to minimal level that provides safety for such staff seems it would work better for relative.

  13. Wandering affects 60% of those with dementia. Geofencing provides a technological safety net without sacrificing dignity.

    Our latest guide at WebHeads United explores the practical implementation of GPS and RFID boundaries to keep loved ones safe. We cover device selection, setting zones, and the ethical balance of safety vs. autonomy.

  18. I'm thinking of making an illustrated guide for carers. I want it to be an easy read and have a sense of humour.

    What terms would you like to see in it?

  22. Discovered #NaniEdgar singing #AlohaOe.

    Beatifully sad, gets the tears and sadness flowing.

    Which we rather need around here.

    Little pesky English (?) to take the focus away from the tone of the singing and instruments.

    If not now then when?

  24. #AgedCare #DementiaCare

    I've been looking for a short YT video showing that the way carers act and respond can help someone with #Dementia have a better life.
    And just as importantly that the carer can have a better life too.

    I haven't found one.

    There are long ones from which I can, with years of related experience, draw out the basic idea.
    And there are short ones. I find the tone of the short ones I've looked at ... unattractive.

    If anybody has suggestions, I won't criticise.
