It contains more than 160 intergenerational activities designed to spark memories, stimulate engagement, and encourage interaction, focusing on loved one’s capabilities and interests. Activities are organised by themes, including: reminiscence trips and activities, games, arts, crafts and music, relaxation exercise and outside home, food and shopping.
