Classic example of a designer more interested in showing-off rather than in designed something people can use...

[Anna Park @Annagoge]

Struggling to understand why this new #flooring was considered a good idea for the ladies #toilets in our local theatre #WGC. Why choose something so obviously disorientating? Anyone w a #visual impairment, vertigo or #dementia would have a real issue.#publictoilets #care #design

Always love a bright yellow raincoat...

[Innovations in Dementia @Innov_Dementia]

This was another magic moment - when @WendyPMitchell @doryitsme & @TraceyShorty28 all turned up in their bright yellow raincoats!!

Beautiful article from @WendyPMitchell. Who would have thought dying your hair pink could bring so much joy...

[DrDr (😊)Wendy Mitchell @WendyPMitchell]

Gosh.....who would have thought me of all people would have been asked to write an essay piece for the Sunday Times Styles Magazine on Dementia and Beauty..........☺️ Thank you @TheSTStyle 🙏

Great comment - is it really that hard to make swimming pools friendly for anyone who is not very steady on their feet?

[Anna Park @Annagoge]

My mother in law used to #swim every week but sadly a fall made her too nervous to walk across a slippery floor unaided. Swimming over 80 should be encouraged by providing handrails at all public #pools. Safer steps pls too! @JoyceWilliams_ #exercise #age https://t.co/2VNamImaY9

Great description of #dementia from the wonderful writer @WendyPMitchell

[DrDr (😊)Wendy Mitchell @WendyPMitchell]

Dementia affects us all differently I can type as though dementia never enetered my world because that part of my brain isn’t broken. I was always creative with words, never this open but always creative.😊 Many things I can’t do but I concentrate on the CAN🤗

[Dementia Who! @Dementiawho]

Why we’re watching more TV about #dementia, from The Restaurant That Makes Mistakes to Prunella Scales’ adventure.

Research shows 32% of people in Britain will eventually get dementia. Finally, our TV schedules are catching up with reality.

Who wouldn't want to eat at a café that sells fish finger sandwiches 😉

[Sarah Johnstone @sarahjohnstone]

Fish finger sandwich lunch with ⁦@martinbottomley⁩ and Laura at the new Adventure Café on Portland 🥪

[Simon Stokes @sstokes5]

Seems amazing that with all the talk about inclusivity a guide like this didn't exist until now...

[Simon Stokes @sstokes5]

@Kinnovate123 Thanks for sharing - my entry has gone in today 👍

[Simon Stokes @sstokes5]

Can recommend the reminiscence hour on @RadioTdw

Yes there is always someone, somewhere to listen 💚💚

[Suzie Bailey @bailey_suzie]

Could one friend please copy and repost? I am trying to demonstrate that someone is always listening. 💚💚💚💚💚💚💚 #SuicideAwareness It only takes one person to make a life & death difference.......☝️ Reply "Done" and RT when you've participated

[Ian Kremer @LEAD_Coalition]

There is no ‘typical’ older person. Communities and countries need adaptable policies.

@krismetink Agreed. But I guess the Quran is giving her comfort which is a good thing.

[Simon Stokes @sstokes5]

This is why I like working in technology. Getting it to do little things that have a big impact is great!

[Simon Stokes @sstokes5]

@trainingcarers 👍We wouldn't describe Doris as a condition/illness/disease/symptom if she was living with anything other than dementia. So why do we do that for #dementia?
