A dementia friendly business is a business that is aware of the needs and challenges of people living with dementia and adjusts its products, services, and environment to accommodate them.
The Dementia Friendly Business Scheme can assist youin becoming a dementia friendly business.
Today’s #DementiaFriends session was a bit of a unique setting - on a bus! 🚍 Jane traded the PowerPoint for good ol’ A3 printouts, bringing it back to basics.
Thank you to @libertybus for inviting us in to deliver a session and thank you to the staff who took time out from their break to attend. We look forward to coming back to deliver more sessions with your drivers and customer service staff.
Together, we can help create a more dementia-friendly island 💜

British Summer Time starts this Sunday! Changing the clocks can be confusing for many of us, but it can be particularly disorienting for those living with dementia.
Here are some simple ways to help ease the transition and minimise disruption:
🌙 Start the evening a bit earlier on Saturday - have dinner and go to bed an hour earlier. This helps ensure they get enough sleep and wake up at their usual time on Sunday, with only a slight change to their routine.
🚶♀️ Gentle exercise during the day can promote tiredness in the evening, making it easier for them to go to bed at their usual time. If exercise isn`t an option, keeping them engaged with activities throughout the day can help.
⏰ Having a routine during the day and before bed can help regulate a person’s disrupted body clock. Doing regular activities at the same time each day, for example going for a walk after breakfast, can help a person with dementia make sense of the time.

Our Dementia Friends programme aims to change the way people think, act and talk about dementia.
Our specially trained Dementia Champions deliver face-to- face awareness sessions to small groups.
Workshops are free, around an hour long and will enhance people’s understanding of dementia using interactive activities, Q&A session and videos. All participants will earn a Dementia Friends Jersey badge to further spread awareness.
