  • Erkunden von Objekten mit Menschen mit Demenz Gedächtnisinstitutionen können eine wichtige Rolle bei der Unterstützung von Therapieprogrammen spielen. Diese sollen darauf abzielen, die Erinnerungen und das Engagement von Menschen mit Demenz und ihren Betreuer:innen anzuregen und Quellen für erinnerungsbasierte sowie andere psychosoziale Interventionsmethoden bereitzustellen. Die Objekte, denen wir in Museen oder Archiven begegnen, können Lebenserinnerungen hervorrufen. Wir müssen jedoch auch genügend Raum für andere Themen oder offene Fragen lassen, die nicht immer auf das Erinnern abzielen, sondern auch Reaktionen hervorrufen,

  • Då och nu - skapa nya meningsfulla relationer Minnesförlust och icke-igenkännande av familjemedlemmar som barn eller barnbarn är lika svårt för personer med demens som det är för familjemedlemmar.   Av denna anledning är det lika viktigt att arbeta med vårdare – familjemedlemmar och demenspersoner tillsammans. Experter talar om vikten av att vårdgivare skapar en "ny" relation med en familjemedlem som lider av demens, eftersom banden från det förflutna i de flesta fall tappas, vilket skapar en stor utmaning för alla medlemmar.

De föremål vi möter utställda på museer eller arkiv kan framkalla livsminnen. Men vi måste också lämna tillräckligt med utrymme för andra ämnen eller öppna frågor som inte alltid syftar till att återkalla utan också
