Whether they be the very old, people living with Alzheimer's or another form of dementia, people living with physical disabilities, degenerative illnesses such as parkinsons or motor neurone disease, those living with learning difficulties or more serious mental disorders, all older people are valuable.
We have all seen examples of care home residents sitting in chairs all day, bored, some unable to break this pattern themselves. Alive! offers them something different, a change of energy, a breath of fresh air from their normal routine.
Alive! conducts interactive activity sessions which help stimulate residents on all levels: physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. Many residents have lost interest or any real engagement in their lives; through these activities our aim is to help them feel Alive!

New research has found that iPads can help people with dementia to have a better quality of life. A team from the University of Worcester assessed pilot projects using iPad touchscreen devices with adults with dementia in the South West and West Midlands, including the work of Alive!. They found that touchscreen devices such as iPads can make a positive contribution to helping people to live well with dementia.
