Pictures of Joy
Pictures of Joy is a new project to put a smile on the face of care home residents, particularly those with dementia.
We are creating lovely laminated pictures, some with a line of a poem on, others just the picture, for care home residents to enjoy and to spark conversation. The pictures can be wiped clean between each resident, to stop germs spreading. Activity co-ordinators at the care homes we have trialled them have said they have proved popular with residents.
Below are some of the pictures we are using:
