Very proud to be part of this series @piponthecommons and love the feel of this being a conversation between two friends. 😊
So enjoyed talking to @sallyknocker before lockdown for today's #WellIKnowNow #dementia podcast. I learnt an awful lot too & had a few laughs along the way. Here she is: podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcas… @derekfi77174766 @juliagapowell @Annagoge @Dochayter @awad_gina @AdmiralDeb

Cooksville Care Centre @KinderaLiving transformed their space! Inspired by the Butterfly Approach @MeaningfulCareMatters, they created a warm, inviting area for connection. Amazing job, Team Cooksville!

“Try to imagine a house that’s not a home. Try to imagine a Christmas all alone.” The words of the song by Mud are particularly poignant. In this blog by @sallyknocker we reflect on feelings of loss and #loneliness at #Christmas @EndLonelinessUK

Looking forward to an uplifting day at #UKDC2024 #Dementia Congress. Here with the fabulous @stepchgdesign @NAPAlivinglife
Thanks to the fabulous @JDementiaCare team for another amazing #UKDC2024 programme - great to be back!
Need to leave this horrible platform soon. Sad to lose the contacts with friends I’ve made here and grateful for the lovely posts I’ve enjoyed with you over 10+ years. There is just way too much Musk fueled hatefulness here. 😔@Justacarehomeg1 @Annagoge @piponthecommons

We are often asked ‘What is a Butterfly Home?’ Nancy Cunningham, MCM Consultant Trainer shares a poem which gets to the essence of what you might expect to find in a Butterfly household.

A little under-stated?! 🤣
That’s what I call solidarity! ❤️
I’m off to a big gay wedding, what do you think of the outfit? Before the haters go mad saying it’s too much, I cleared it with the Grooms. #LoveIsLove #GayWedding

Rest in Peace Dame Maggie Smith. You will be forever loved and never forgotten.
Thank you for adding your magic touch to every performance you gave the world.
Sending love to your family, friends and fans all over the world.
#MaggieSmith – at London, England
ALT Rest in peace Dame Maggie Smith, thank you for blessing the world with your wonderful gift, for so many years you have given so many amazing performances and characters we all adore; from The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie with a sister act and in a room with a view at the best exotic marigold hotel to downton abbey or the secret garden in gosford park, you added a touch of class to everything and provided a magic spark, now professor McGonagall is reunited with professor snape, Hagrid and Albus Dumbledore. @allontheboard
Well done @geoffreydcox & team!
Congratulations to the Sefton Hall team Southern Healthcare #Dawlish for achieving an outstanding Level 1 accreditation in the #DragonflyApproach.
As one team member said, “It comes from the top. When I was feeling very sad, the manager rang me & suggested a walk with the dog.”

Are you looking for two days learning to change a care culture? We are very proud of the success of our two-day course ‘See it-Hear it-Feel it’ which gives team members a chance to really understand what life is like for people who live in a #carehome or attend a #dayservice.

With the #ButterflyApproach we talk a lot about reducing controlling care. What are common mistakes people make when relating to someone in a wheelchair? #disability #freedom #rights #dementia
