Dementia Disco at Rose Lodge care home in Wisbech

Staff and residents at Rose Lodge Care Home in Wisbech dusted off their dancing shoes, leg warmers and glowsticks for the launch of their new Dementia Disco initiative during Dementia Action Week.

Knowing how much their residents living with dementia love to dance and sing, the activities team at Rose Lodge ran a dementia-friendly disco. Life enrichment lead Jane Ritchie said: “Everyone had so much fun. To see residents smiling, dancing and waving their glow sticks was magical.”

General manager Meg Jones added: “The disco was a fantastic way to connect with others. We know the power of music brings joy and reminiscence for those living with dementia, their families and caregivers.
