How can care home staff support people with dementia to be meaningfully occupied?
University of Exeter research on relationships between natural environments, health and wellbeing
How somebody spends their time has a huge impact on how they feel. This includes how they see themselves and how satisfied they feel that they are living life in the way they want to. Feeling happy with life may not mean feeling occupied every moment, but that the things that people do have a personal meaning to them. This is just as true for somebody living with dementia as for those without it.
