They do say that every day is a school day, and that has certainly been the case during a reminiscing session at Balhousie Monkbarns.
As the residents took a trip down memory lane looking at photos of old film stars, sports personalities and politicians, they showed they were defnitely the experts.
Reminiscence sessions is an importnat therapy to stimulate mental activity and improve well-being, often using provokations such as videos, music, pictures and objects that have particular meaning.
Many of the staff didn’t know who some of the famous faces were, but the residents were quick to share their memories of those people.
“It’s a great social gathering for everyone to share memories,” says Angela Crosby, Activities Coordinator at Monkbarns. “We get to learn some interesting facts as well. I love hearing the stories and recollections they share with us.”
