Sorry that would have been a good idea. She is a highly intelligent lady who has worked all her life so has no hobbies. She is a Baroness and OBE and very much into politics. She spent some time in the house of lords. She is religious too. She did enjoy her gardening. Thanks
Thank you both. She has no family left but does have a goddaughter so have asked her for any information about her past. Just waiting for it to be sent. She is an amazing woman

Hi. I have changed jobs recently and am now a companion for a lady with dementia. She had a very very high powered job and was director of several companies, a member of the house of lords and a big part of the conservative party. Because she was a workaholic she has had no outside interests. I have tried most of the activities i used to do in the care home i worked in but she doesn't want to engage. Any ideas to make her life more enjoyable? Thanks
Morning. I work in a care home in West Sussex UK and I am looking for a company that will come out and do armchair exercises, reminiscing, singing and games etc. We already have Kiddley Divey who come out once a fortnight and they are fabulous. I do some things myself but the residents like to see different faces.
Morning from the UK. I am going to start doing a monthly newsletter in June and was wondering what people put in theirs. I have some ideas but want to make it as fun and enjoyable as possible. I think site is fabulous and I wouldn't be able to do my job without it. Thank you so much for all you do.
I just recently joined this site also and let me tell you it is WONDERFUL!!!! I am an activity director at a senior center and not only do our older seniors enjoy it but we also have a group respite program geared towards participants with dementia and Alzheimer's, that respond really well to the trivia/quizzes that the website offers. I am so thankful to have this site as a resource to assist with enhancing their quality of life!
