Simulated presence therapy

an answer to the problem of wandering.

We would like to thank everyone who has written to us with items of interest and photographs for our editions of 'The Candle', please keep them coming.
 
 

We were very pleased to receive the following poem via our web site from David Gale a volunteer at the Worsted Day Care Centre.
David wrote this whilst undertaking his OCN level 2 on reminiscence.
 

 

When the Sun Broke through the other morn
 
As I woke up one morning
and I'd left the night behind
I found without warning
Someone had stolen half my mind
 
They hadn't taken all my thoughts
just part of them they'd taken
I felt frustrated and distraught
Confused and quire forsaken
 
Who am I? What's my name?
What do I like to eat?
Who chooses what clothes I wear?
What shoes upon my feet?
 
But take me back to yesteryear
And you can plainly see
Each tiny detail fresh and clear
Of whom I used to be.
 

Many thanks David.
We would love to hear from anyone else who has thoughts or words to share.
