We have a vast array of props which the Residents may have used themselves or will at least recognise, to stimulate memories and promote the active recalling of events and life experiences. Participation is voluntary and very informal, giving a relaxed and warm atmosphere in which to enjoy chatting about 'The Good Old Days'. We have grouped items into 'Themes' such as 'Wash Day' or 'School Days' or sensory themes using 'Touchy Feely Bags!' which promote interaction and conversation and are useful triggers of memories of life experiences and days gone by.
