How volunteers can help people with dementia during Coronavirus

A latest blog from Wendy Mitchell:

A few of us volunteered to meet via Zoom with Philly and Damian from Innovations in Dementia. We were there to discuss ways these thousands of NHS volunteers around the country, could help provide a better service if allocated someone with dementia.

We spoke about people who were delivering medication, people delivering shopping, people taking us to appoitments and those just simply providing a friendly phone call.

Although these tips are wonderful for now, they’re wonderful for any time, any situation.

Damian was the star in front of the camera, demonstrating the ‘smiley face’ technique? and even his dog got in on the act at the end of one video by sneezing ?❤️
