Ideas on how to help someone with dementia to continue following sports

[HarrietD]

Do you have tips that we could share in the next issue of our magazine about helping a person who has dementia to continue following sports?

An article in the latest Dementia together magazine features ideas about enjoying live games, as well as being stimulated by a sport’s associated sights, sounds and more.

Add your comments (and any pictures!) below or email magazine@alzheimers.org.uk by end of 3 May.

Thanks everyone

I am very lucky my husband has been supporting Manchester City since he was a small boy. He may forget the players names but has a good friend since childhood who is prepared to take him to all the home games. He enjoys the match and I get a few hours off. The joy of good friends is never appreciated enough. Luckily he knows how much it means to me.
