You are not alone!

We are very proud to host our REDS family ❤️

Saturday we were visited by Ed, representing 'Celebrating Rushcliffe Awards' and Rushcliffe Borough Council after hours of practice we decided to ignore our rehearsed response to being shortlisted and spoke from the heart.

We really appreciate the nomination, as we shine a light on the remarkable people in our community, who live with dementia under the age of 65 ❤️

Christmas family game! 🎄Did you know that playing dominoes can be a wonderful way to support cognitive stimulation for people living with dementia?

Dominoes is simple, often familiar, and engaging — and it naturally exercises attention, memory, problem-solving, and visual-spatial skills.

The act of matching tiles helps keep the mind active, while handling the pieces supports fine motor movement. Because the rules are easy and the game is highly familiar for many people, it can spark long-term memory, reduce anxiety, and create moments of confidence and enjoyment.

Dominoes is also a great social activity. It encourages conversation, turn-taking, and shared connection — all of which are incredibly valuable for emotional well-being.

Our top tips for playing with someone with dementia:

• Play as a team if the person needs gentle prompts.

• Clear the table of clutter so the person can focus fully on the tiles.

• Break down their choices or offer simple reminders to help make the next move easier.

• Always let the person with dementia be in control — follow their pace and comfort level.

We hope you have lots fun, remember not to sulk if you lose and create meaningful moments this Christmas 🧡
