Technology That Feels Familiar
Care homes often look for activities that spark conversation and shared memories. Interactive displays can help, provided they are easy to use, calm and led by people who know the residents well.
Ideas That Suit the Setting
Everything should be optional and unhurried. These ideas draw on our community and care projects.
- Memory displays — photographs, music and local history to talk about
- Gentle games — large, simple touch activities
- Virtual visits — revisit places through VR, if suitable and comfortable
- Family connections — share pictures and messages
- Seasonal activities — celebrations and themed displays

Put People First
Staff know what suits each resident. Let them decide who takes part, how long for and what content to use. Keep sessions short and stop if anyone seems uneasy.
Take Proper Advice
Care settings have specific duties around consent, privacy, infection control and safety. This is general information, not professional advice, so involve your care managers. Agencies supporting care providers can talk to us via our partnership programme.
