The most enjoyable part of my business is escorting those in which I support outside so that they can enjoy the great outdoors!
Have you ever heard of the term ‘Greening Dementia’?
In 2012, Natural England commissioned a literature review by Dementia Adventure (which is a charity / social enterprise) to examine the benefits and barriers that those living with Dementia face when accessing nature. The literature review was conducted with the view to help more people with Dementia enjoy the benefits of outdoors.
The literature review highlighted the many benefits of outdoors, which included:
- It improves a person’s emotional state
- Improves a person’s verbal expression
- It is improves a person’s awareness
- It improves a person’s social skills and also gives a person a sense of belonging.
What are your favourite places to visit? I absolutely love visiting Kedleston Hall, the views there are beautiful.
