Brain Health Playdates

We are not the only people experimenting with a multi generational model for Alzheimers care. A group in Australia has been doing the same thing, bringing preschool children to nursing homes to play with Alzheimers patients.

The Prime Minister of Australia observed that the model works well for people with Alzheimers "because memory and communication are not essential to enjoying positive and meaningful relationships."

A very interesting insight from a politician!
