An exploration of the UK unpaid carer's world

                                                                                                Teresa centre stage at a church service.  I took the pic       hidden page

Update 2 June

The addition of links on the right  -  

The G&S test here with update 31 May 2106 is not put forward as a pukka test.  It serves as a broad indicator. 

There is decline,


Not in the link list is a proprietary quiz on family. 

Half way down, the header image is shown in its entirety - Nov 2105.  Teresa's hand writing was such that it would not have made a good jpg.

In March of this year, she asked me to record her answers which I have yet to process.  Considerable decline.

Again, not a formal test.

Shall I post the booklets or bring them to the Leom DMC next week?


2

In an attempt to follow protocol. I contacted Ms Jaques to explain that I hope to be involved in starting a DMC in Ross.  

She has said that there has been interest already.  Do please pass my contact info in that direction as appropriate.

Can we add that to our agenda when we meet?

The booklets have been dealt with.  I have answered as if my wife had been in better health.

The activity has set me thinking about the best way forward.  I suggest you proceed as normal and see how it goes.

However, there is no question of going beyond 30 mins on any occasion.  That means ten mins of etc and then 20 mins for the booklet.  If you are happy with that, see you soon.


Maybe sooner.

We hope to attend the Leom DMC on Wednesday 25 May [[[ 25 May now updated to either Tues 31 May or Weds 1 June]]].  Teresa and I could be spared for half an hour.  Normally, Tuesday is best as she attends daycare centre in Ross on Thursdays and much prefers a day of rest between events.

If Weds 25 [[[either Tues 31 May or Weds 1 June]]]  in Leom suits you, I propose to post the booklets later today [[[possibly Thurs 26 May]]] so that you can skate through them before.  Update 26 May - see update above.

If you prefer Leom for short sessions, don't hesitate to say.  [[[ either Tues 31 May or Weds 1 June could be used as collection-by-you dates if no session is run.  If a diplomatic bag  runs between you and Leom DMC, it's another choice]]]

Evans, S., Evans S., Bray, J., (2015), How iPads can support people with dementia living in care homes [online]  


I hope to locate an app which enables users to operate  a potter's wheel as seen at Tim Jones' seminar in 2014 .  We met there.

Jones, T., Kay, D., Upton, P. & Upton, D. (2013). An evaluation of older adults use of iPad’s in eleven UK care-homes. The International Journal of Mobile Human Computer Interaction, 5(3), 62-76.


Whilst the iPad removes some of the traditional barriers to computer engagement, new barriers including weight and screen reflection are evident to an older user group. This paper provides an exploratory evaluation of how older adults in 11 UK care-home settings and the staff engaged in their care are using iPads to help improve communication, build physical social networks amongst residents, staff and family members, and map the most frequently used applications by an older population during a six-month pilot period.

Shirley

The booklets have been dealt with.  I have answered as if my wife had been in better health.

The activity has set me thinking about the best way forward.  I suggest you proceed as normal and see how it goes.

However, there is no question of going beyond 30 mins on any occasion with Teresa.  That means ten mins of intro etc the first time and twenty mins for the booklet then and subsequent occasions .    Our session can be fitted in as convenient to you.

If you are happy with that, see you soon.


Maybe sooner.

We hope to attend the Leom DMC on Wednesday.  Teresa and I could be spared for half an hour the first time and twenty mins thereafter.  Normally, Tuesday is best as she attends the daycare centre in Ross on Thursdays and much prefers a day of rest between outings.

If Weds 25 May in Leom suits you, I propose to post the booklets later today early tomorrow so that you can skate through them before we all meet.  We'll need to leave around 3 and at latest 4pm.  Teresa (as in Mother Teresa - not Tereesa ) tires easily.

If you prefer Leom for 20-min sessions, don't hesitate to say.  Ross is another hour further at our speed.
