"Words of reassurance left for an elderly lady with dementia by her daughter. A simple white board left in her sight line in her sitting room. Helped to reduce constant anxious phone calls" - People always amaze us how resourceful they are - low tech but effective #Dementia #Care

Carers need 80mins/day to provide food for someone with high dependency & 105mins for drinks. That's 2/3 of commissioned care hours just on E+D. Forget other ADLs! This is why we have a problem with #malnutrition and #dehydration in #olderpeople's #care. More #TimetoCare needed

We say that all residents should have an oral health assessment when they move into a care home, with the result recorded in their care plan. Take a look at our oral health quick guide for care home managers here: bit.ly/2jKimGc #oralhealth #dental

@TheDMAT I like how you use “trial”... everyone is an individual, no one size fits all, provides a real issue to the one size hospital care often provided #dementia #nutrition #TwitterChat
