I just wanted to share with those Cuties who make things for people with dementia. My friend's mother was put into respite, and the home made a placemat with her picture, first name and all the things that she likes (music, gardening, etc). So the staff could have a conversation with her and call her by name when they served her meal in the dinning room. That placemat goes with her every time she has respite.

This is a very good idea. Thanks for sharing with us, always nice to address a person by name and have a conversation. Sandra.

What a great idea. I would personally hate someone calling me Lovey or Pet if I didn't know them or where I was. But by using the persons name it would make them feel more settled and that they were with a person who knew them.
