@laurencereed Only just seen this. Anona was a beautiful soul and we will all miss her. Anona adored you.

Many may have not known my beautiful sister Anona, but she had many friends @Reflectionsw and at her care home in #Penryn Crosskeys. Sadly she passed away this afternoon as I played her favourite Donny Osmond & Carpenters songs …. Love you 🥰 big sis ……RIP

@BevWilson13 Thanks so much Bev.

@Reflectionsw Brilliant film good luck with your new adventure, always been such a fantastic place for people to attend

Sometimes life gets in the way and you lose sight of what matters. Personal tragedies, lack of funding, growing older, all add to feelings of can I still do this. I have manged to press the reset button. Opening another Reflections in 2 weeks time. youtu.be/pYK2dWfuuN4

@EmergencyBod We knew this was coming years ago and every government over the last 20 years has failed to act. It will take another 20 years to put this right. People are living longer, more people with dementia etc etc, growing population. I feel for all of you as stress will get worse.

As an Emergency Medicine consultant in the NHS, I just want to say, to all of our patients across the UK: I'm sorry. We're really trying, I promise. There's just too much to do. And there are not enough resources in the hospitals or in our communities to satisfy demand.

@ProfRobHoward It is sad to hear of Wendys death but she died on her own terms. This last blog will open up much discussion around dying and will be an uncomfortable read for many but you have to admit they are very thought provoking words.

If this is true, Wendy Mitchell has taken her own life. A very sad end to her story. whichmeamitoday.wordpress.com/2024/02/22/my-…

What an amazing lady. So touched to read this blog. Please as many people read this, it is truly special. RIP @WendyPMitchell, you will never be forgotten for what you have achieved in bringing awareness in living with and dying with dementia.

@mancunianmedic We have moved over the years from preventative to crisis management. I have worked in social care for 35yrs. We used to provide low level services funded by LA now mostly acute or end of life care and supporting very poorly people. More cuts coming.

My daughter and grandson. Think he's going to be a martini expresso kind of guy. 😂😂😂

Me and my boy out and about for 1st time in months. We don't do winter riding 😂 Only have a gentle stroll. Therapy for the soul.

The Reflections team enjoyed a murder mystery today. The people picked their characters and came in costume ! They all had a brilliant afternoon with much laughter as usual. Just love the Captains quip !

@StevenBartlett Great episode tonight. I've not laughed so much in ages and will def be buying some. What a guy and what an amazing investment.

Went to granddaughters Christingle service at a quaint old Baptist church. Christmas stripped of all the commercialisation. Members of the church arranged it all and made tea etc. All were quite elderly. Prob not many such churches will survive with no younger people joining.

Men and baking at Reflections this morning. What could possibly go wrong ? End result pretty amazing though. 😂

When a retired care home entertainer develops dementia and starts attending Reflections he feels that he has got his purpose and self worth back and we in turn get a fab entertainer.

My husbands headstone made its appearance yesterday. Didn't realise how long these things take. A little reference to Coldplay and one to American Trilogy which the church accepted prob thinking Danny liked stars and psalms 😁
