Key features of reminiscence therapy

Key features of our dementia and alzheimer’s reminiscence therapy

The power of reminiscence film

 We are award winning Scottish heritage film makers

The key features of our dementia and alzheimer’s reminiscence therapy called “A picture house of MY past memories” all contribute to a new and validated therapy for these conditions. We have seen for ourselves the devastating impact dementia and alzheimer’s has on families. As a result, we as Scottish heritage film makers recognised the power our clips about the past, can have for people living with dementia and alzheimer’s.

Phase one collection

We have over three years researched developed and perfected a library of validated dementia and alzheimer reminiscence clips. There are fourteen clips in phase one amounting to five hours six minutes of footage in total. These customised clips find the places where past memories hide for people living with dementia. They help them reconnect with their own past and who they are. This provides hope and support 24/7 and brings some respite to the carers also from the continual challenges of dementia and alzheimer’s.

Significant contribution based on research findings

We realised that what we had researched (I am a retired academic so I know the discipline of researching) and developed over three years was something of great significance for dementia support. I then did research about;

dementia —alzheimer’s– reminiscence therapy— what current research was in the field nationally and internationally– what digital resources were available 24/7– who were the leaders in dementia reminiscence therapy — what they say and do– what 21 century technologies were being used— what resources there were for people living with dementia etc.

What I found was the lack of sufficient support for the two conditions. There was no  customised and validated reminiscence therapy accessible 24/7 anywhere in the world using 21 century technology. This shows that what we have developed as our phase one collection of therapy clips  is what research suggests is required .
