Bringing Our Residents’ Stories to Life Through Reminiscences

The Power of Reminiscence

Life Stories is our commitment to explore in more detail the lives and memories of our residents. Reminiscence is an important part of our daily activities and so we have set about trying to capture, through interview, some of our residents stories.

We have quickly learnt that everyone has a story to tell and that both the storyteller and the audience have much to gain from the experience.

The past is not another country nor gone. It’s in our homes right now waiting to be heard. We’re giving it a voice.
