AnnotationReminiscence activities can provide a focus and stimulation for continued conversation with people with dementia. The authors describe the principles and some ideas for good practice, based on their book 'Remembering yesterday, caring today: reminiscence in dementia care' (Jessica Kingsley, 2008). The book is a Bradford Dementia Group good practice guide, and embraces ideas such as person-centred approaches, building an inclusive group, and using non-verbal communication as well as conversation.
