I thought this was an interesting health related article / video worth posting.
The notion that people living with dementia become more feeling beings than thinking beings is quite an interesting one I think.
I am glad to see that this innovative idea is bringing happiness to dementia sufferers, a trick of the mind if you like. It is clear that the users are uplifted, which is a defining positive.
The aim of The Wayback is to help spark memories and start conversations that grow harder to come by as the disease takes hold. The film struck a chord with the staff and the residents, both those living with dementia and those without, bringing back long lost memories for all.

I hope this has raised a smile and made you reflect.
