yes you're right - being creative, person-centred and safe is better when supported properly - and sometimes building community relations/ relatives can also support (initially lots of work to set up, but has been possible). #AlzChat

@KarrieMarshall @helenfindlay It does however need more than basic / CQC compliant staffing levels...even if there is an 'activity coordinator'

@KarrieMarshall In my mum's first nursing home, they had a pizza making afternoon in the kitchen and had it for their tea later #AlzChat

#AlzChat at home people may need to consider safe kitchen areas such as lockable safety cupboards for appliances, hobs with auto-shutoff, and wearing those fab chainmail cut resistant gloves when using sharp knives.

#AlzChat - make independence as easy as possible by using easier-to-grip cutlery with cushioned handles; non-spill cups with lids with large handles or straws. Use colour contrast so ppl can see food on plates and plates on tablecloth.

#AlzChat gather recipes, accompanying stories and create images (or cut them out of magazines) to make a wonderful scrapbook. These bring years of pleasure. There are even recipe scrapbook kits out there! #dementiacare

#AlzChat many years ago, a care home created a small 'kitchen' area with table and chairs that contained cereal bowls, cereals, fridge with milk and margarine, tins with freshly made buns, and various bright easy to use utensils. It promoted independence & social interactions.

@KarrieMarshall My mum was ace at cooking. She would make use of everything, no waste. If all else failed, a new type of soup would emerge. She was also good at making homemade wine, especially from rhubarb #AlzChat

#AlzChat if you live with dementia (or care for someone) and are worried about kitchen safety, the US and UK fire brigades provide free Home Fire Safety Visits (or "Safe and Well" checks) so you know what's needed.

#AlzChat who doesn't love the smell of freshly baked breads? when I managed a care home, the smell of cooking brought people into the dining room without any prompting- there's a familiarity that feels safe. Have things for people to do at the tables or food images to look at

#AlzChat social baking and intergenerational baking is such a beautiful experience. This was one of the spreads in a local community hall that links older and younger generations, including ppl living with dementia. Eating the cakes is even more fun!! #Cromarty
