There are a number of reminiscence apps that are now available. The next few posts will look at some of these.
'Let's Talk' (free) is by 'Many Happy Returns' with the Norfolk and Suffolk Dementia Alliance (U.K). It has a useful section which describes how to use an iPad in terms of how to swipe, tap and pinch the screen. There are website links to a variety of dementia resources in the U. K. Their are also some thoughtful communication tips when engaging with individuals with dementia. The actual reminiscence section is limited to 1940's and 1950's with 6 sections in each, on everyday subjects in that time period. There are photos, brief descriptions and questions to promote interaction. Although it is limited in its content, it might still be a useful app to get some conversation started.
Next post- House of Memories!
