A mixture of emotions today ❤️💔❤️💔
One family is sadly saying goodbye to a lovely lady I briefly had the privilege of supporting, who passed away in hospital. Whilst my eldest client celebrated his 96th birthday.

Moments like these are such a reminder of how precious life is, and what a privilege it is to support people and their families through every stage of their journey . 🥰

Social Prescribing Day celebrates the power of community, connection and non-medical support to improve health and wellbeing. 🌿✨

Social prescribing links people to local activities, groups and services that can help with loneliness, stress, finances, housing, physical health and more. Being part of a community, trying new social activities or accessing practical advice can have a positive impact on both mental and physical wellbeing. Support is available in many different areas, helping people feel more connected and empowered. 💚🤝

Reminder - British Summer Time starts this Sunday⏰

When the clocks go forward it can be confusing for all of us, but it can be especially disorientating for people living with dementia, who might struggle with awareness of time.

As our days get longer and brighter, people living with dementia may find it harder to differentiate between 6am and 6pm. This disrupts their natural circadian rhythm and makes it hard for them, and those who care for them, to ensure they get enough sleep.

Thankfully there are a few easy things we can do to help minimise any disruption.

🌙 Consider having dinner and going to bed an hour earlier on Saturday. This means the person you’re caring for can still get enough sleep and can wake up at their usual time on Sunday, and that their routine will only be different for an evening rather than the whole day.

📆 Keep to a regular routine during the day and at bedtime. This can help to regulate a disrupted body clock. Doing regular activities at the same time each day – for example, going for a walk after breakfast – can help a person with dementia make sense of the time.

🚶‍♀️ Gentle exercise during the day can help the person feel sleepier during the evening, meaning they’ll go to bed at their usual time. If this isn’t an option, keeping them active during the day can have a similar effect. You could also consider using blackout curtains to reduce sunlight in the evenings.

⏰ Invest in an auto-setting clock. Some people with dementia can find it tricky to read a clock face, so often digital clocks are easier. You can also get clocks that show the day of the week and date as well as the time, and for some people a day/night clock can help them distinguish what time of day it is.

Not every seizure needs an ambulance - but do you know when to call 999?

If in doubt, it's always best to ring and be safe.

🎶
Today we’re celebrating Social Prescribing Day – a day dedicated to recognising the people, organisations and communities who make social prescribing happen.🎶

🩷 At Music for Dementia, we’re proud to champion those who use music as a simple, meaningful way to support people living with dementia. Through initiatives like m4dRADIO.com and our growing network of music partners, we’re helping make music part of everyday care and highlighting its powerful role in supporting health and wellbeing.

🩵 Music can spark memories, lift mood, reduce anxiety and create moments of connection, even when words become harder to find.

Here are a few simple ways to use music when caring for a loved one with dementia:

🎵 Play familiar songs from their teens or early adulthood (these often trigger the strongest memories).
🎤 Sing together. It doesn’t have to be perfect; singing can bring joy and encourage communication.
💃 Add gentle movement like clapping, swaying or simple dance steps to favourite tunes.
📻 Create a daily music routine, for example m4dRADIO's special 10am playlists on the MIX channel: Move It Mondays or Feelgood Fridays, or Sunday hymns.
👥 Listen together. Shared musical moments can help reduce feelings of isolation for both carers and loved ones.

Music is a powerful tool for care, connection and joy. Find out more: National Academy for Social Prescribing
