A joint outing in the Rosemobile by residents of the Cottage and the Lodge today:

Rosina and Joyce have both lived with us for a few years now and they are as elegant as ever!

Communication generally becomes more challenging for people as the dementia progresses and this is a particular challenge in the Lodge, our community for people living with the later stage of dementia. Our ability to experience emotions seems undiminished at those later stages, and we can communicate our love without words. The quiet presence of another person, the holding of a hand, a kiss, a massage. Just being together with another person lets us know we are not alone, that we matter, that we are safe and that we are loved.
