Dementia: Enjoying life and staying safe

Listening to old records, creating life-story books and rummage boxes reduce anxiety and uncertainty by stirring fond memories and can help us to retain our sense of who we are.

The Dementia: Understand Together campaign is led by the HSE in partnership with the Alzheimer Society of Ireland and Age Friendly Ireland. For information on supports such as weekly Virtual Dementia Cafés for people living with dementia and carers, as well as information on how to be a dementia champion in your community, visit www.understandtogether.ie or Freefone 1800 341 341 (Monday to Friday 10am to 5pm, Saturday 10am to 4pm).
