Maureen really struggled this morning as none of her clothes felt comfortable and she went back to bed totally distraught. She didn’t get up until Maeve arrived shortly after 1 pm. It’s such a shame that her granddaughter isn’t able to visit more often because her presence has such a positive impact on her Nana.
Maureen was in hostess mode for the 3 hours that Tom and Maeve were here. She is now sleeping off her busy afternoon, possibly for the rest of the day.
Dementia: Sharing The Good Times

There is some good work going on around the world in intergenerational services for young children and older people in respite or residential care.
