In the second episode Talking Christmas: festivities and food, Colm focuses on many of the traditions that occur during the holiday season, what this can mean to a person with dementia and their family. 

“Christmas traditions, like bringing out the Christmas pudding, saying Grace or Christmas songs can really help the person with dementia to feel included in the day. 

I was delighted to speak with Colleen MacDonald in this episode. Colleen is one of our Residential Managers and was able to share some Christmas traditions she has experienced with residents and families at our Southwood care home in NSW.”
