How to use this resource
The coordinator reads aloud or shares printed pages with residents, then uses the content as a prompt for discussion. Topics like the Titanic, Sir Edmund Hillary, and medical milestones work well as conversation starters and may support recall for people living with dementia.
- Read-aloud session: Print one booklet and read it aloud to a small group, pausing to invite comments or questions as you go.
- One-to-one reminiscence: Use the Edmund Hillary or Titanic booklet with an individual resident as a starting point for personal memories tied to those events.
- Discussion prompt: After reading a section from the medicine booklet, ask residents what health changes they’ve seen in their lifetime.
- Men’s group activity: These topics suit a men’s group format – history, exploration, and science tend to prompt strong engagement and storytelling.
- Themed session planning: Pair the Titanic booklet with related music or images from the era to build a fuller reminiscence session.
