Music Mirrors
Music Mirrors is a simple digital resource made with people at an early stage of memory loss linking their life stories to recorded music and sound in a way that is easily accessible and portable throughout their journey with dementia. The concept was developed by ‘Come Singing’ a voluntary organisation in Norfolk, and Norfolk and Suffolk NHS Foundation Mental Health Trust. It is used by and can be shared between people at home, hospital, care homes and third sector organisations as a reminiscence tool and contributes to person centred care by stimulating conversation and engagement.

Book: Contented Dementia
This is a good book to grasp some of the concepts behind effective communication/ management with someone with dementia.
However it does not explain the science behind cognitive decline; what stays intact and what deteriorates but it is a supportive read and not heavy or negative.
Very Useful Book
This very useful and well written book guides you into and out of the complexities of dementia.
Clearly written, readable and gives access to solid care management advice.
