Colourful, large wall mounted calendars help patients with dementia
Thanks so much to Mrs Joy Lees, a Sister in Watford, for sending us this idea
She writes....
'Hang a colourful calendar in your relatives's room in their care home (one with space to write daily). Especially useful for dementia patients, as you can write when you popped in and let other relatives know when you were there! Also handy for writing notes, like what they need and can't eat/drink anymore.'
