 | Diverse Alzheimers @DiverseAlz #diversealz welcome as we chat about Christmas, dementia and care homes. Who’s in for the chat? |
| Diverse Alzheimers @DiverseAlz Welcome all! Will get around to naming you soon! Lots to do from here so going to start the chat. Is one we should have been talking about ages ago #diversealz |
| Diverse Alzheimers @DiverseAlz Chat is about people with dementia in care homes. Our focus: visiting and what to do: volunteering; loneliness and celebrating care home staff. Here goes #diversealz |
| Diverse Alzheimers @DiverseAlz Question 1: Why spend Christmas with a person with dementia in a care home? #diversealz |
| Diverse Alzheimers @DiverseAlz Basic question starts our chat on people with dementia in care homes at Christmas. Why bother to visit? Goes further than that...folks who are apprehensive about it. #diversealz |
 | BME Dementia @BMEdementia Visiting people with dementia in care homes during Christmas can be a sign they matter. It’s not a case of out of sight out of mind though understand reservations. #Diversealz |
| BME Dementia @BMEdementia Excellent way to show children and young people the importance of family and friends as they could also visit. Highlights value of caring at thi time. Guess talking festivals in general where applicable #diversealz |
| Diverse Alzheimers @DiverseAlz RT @helenfindlay: |
 | Lexey Lutz @LexeyLutz @DiverseAlz A1: My grandfather has #alzheimer's and I could not imagine not spending as much time with him as possible over xmas even though he doesn't know me. He is still the same grandpa I have loved since I was a child. He benefits from our company and presence. #diversealz |

| Lexey Lutz @LexeyLutz @DiverseAlz encouraging volunteering within schools, clubs (such as girl scouts or boy scouts), youth groups etc would be great to help involve young people in children. In fact many with #dementia respond fondly to younger people and children. #diversealz |

| Lexey Lutz @LexeyLutz @DiverseAlz @Shedfieldlodge @willow_lodge A5: following on @TommyTommytee18 point, volunteering can relieve some of the workers who are dedicating their family time to help your family be comfortable and feel the holiday spirit. Volunteers provide relief for the workers which in turn may benefit families too #diversealz |

| Diverse Alzheimers @DiverseAlz Question 6 or rather statement: can we give thanks and hear, if possible, about the staff who dedicate their time to work over the Christmas period? #diversealz #goodjobs |
| Diverse Alzheimers @DiverseAlz @nchadborn mentioning volunteering and in care homes over Christmas. Something for people to consider. Maybe next year. #Diversealz |
| Lexey Lutz @LexeyLutz RT @Minghowriter: |
| BME Dementia @BMEdementia @derekfisher2907 @DiverseAlz This is true but can also argue there is a significance around Christmas and for some folk, if you are going to go at any time, it would be then. How it is sometimes. At end of day, the visit matters #diversealz |
| BME Dementia @BMEdementia Given terms hard to reach, seldom heard, good to see that some churches within the African community are doing outreach and volunteering in care homes. They can also converse with PWD in some of the African languages. #diversealz #bmedementia |
