Your favourite song? The smell of freshly baked bread in your childhood home?
For our residents living with dementia, moments of reminiscence can be incredibly powerful. Old photographs, music, and familiar scents can spark memories that bring comfort, joy, and connection.
At Linden Care Homes, we create safe, supportive spaces where residents are encouraged to share their stories, whether it’s looking through vintage postcards or singing along to a wartime classic. These gentle memory prompts help foster identity, reduce anxiety, and build meaningful bridges between past and present.
This is something you can do at home too if you are caring for a loved one. Follow us for more tips and advice on caring for elderly people living with dementia or Alzheimer’s
