Films & resources
My Home Life has just completed a series of films commissioned by the Department of Health, and have been produced in conjunction with Let’s Respect and Dementia UK. The films look at the challenges of dementia and other mental health issues in residential care.
The ‘Experiences of…‘ series of films concentrate on the challenges residents face when suffering from dementia, delirium and depression. With powerful interviews from residents, relatives and staff, they aim to help carers better understand and care for residents suffering from mental health problems.
The ‘Living with Dementia‘ films explore what it is like to live alongside dementia, and demonstrates the importance of relationships in successful care. It follows three real-life stories looking at the experiences of a young carer, two relatives and a resident. The films are aimed at the general public, as well as those working in the care sector.
We hope you enjoy these films and that they serve as a tool to help staff and relatives better support their residents and loved ones.
