| Annotation | The My Home Life Cymru programme aims to improve care standards and quality of life for older people in residential care. This article looks at the ways in which volunteers in Swansea have been engaging people with dementia in group activities as part of a pilot project run by Age Cymru Swansea Bay (ACSB). Their feedback has guided the organisation on the targeted support and training needed when the activities - mainly games and exercise - are introduced across Swansea. (RH). |
