Hi,
I'm carrying out research into dementia and creativity in the hope that I can develop something that will allow people with dementia to be creative and ultimately enhance their day-to-day life.
I'd really like to hear from anyone who has had experience of people with dementia enjoying musical or artistic activities. I currently attend a day centre each week and have found that music is an activity that everyone loves. However, if you have a different experience to this, please let me know.
Also, if anyone knows of key books/journal papers in the areas of "creativity", "dementia" and/or "creativity and dementia" I'd be grateful if you could let me know.
Thanks for any help you can give.
Cheers, Pip
