Colour plays a vitally important role in the world in which we live. It can calm and soothe, it can stimulate and energise, it can lift your spirits, and even affect your appetite!
These last few weeks have seen spring burst in to life, with colours emerging from the winter gloom and brightening up our environment.
Our staff and residents have also been celebrating the start of spring with bright colourful craft and gardening activities.
Day 4: Words – Give me a minute to find the right words.
People who live with dementia sometimes need a bit longer to tell you what is on their mind. Giving them a minute to find the right words gives them the confidence to keep communicating. Visit discrimination.dementia.org.au/action-week/ for more information.

Really listening to people living with dementia is a great way to understand how you can support them. Visit discrimination.dementia.org.au/action-week/ for more information.
