Who's Who in the Photo

On our memory loss unit we asked families to send in (if available) photos of our residents as children. They ranged between ages 1 through 9. We mounted them on poster board and each was assigned a number. Families, residents and staff all enjoyed playing guess WHO AM

I ? One woman didn't recognize herself but was thrilled to see her sister sitting beside her in the photo

If our residents lack mental capacity we are not allowed to take their photographs, GDPR,

Thanks for your input Judy
