Life Story
Posted: 03 May 2017 06:49 AM PDT
Due to problems with memory loss and communication, people with
dementia often need help communicating important aspects of their identity –
such as background, interests, and who and what is important to them.
Life Story work is an activity in which people with
dementia gather together and review events in their past and build a personal
biography with the help of staff and family members. This activity is
beneficial as it can help the person with dementia better understand past
experiences and see how they have coped with events in their life.

dementia share their stories and enhance their sense of identity
§ It can encourage better
communication and an understanding of the person's needs and wishes
(person-centred care)

develop closer relationships with family carers and staff
