The library at Rotherham Hospital now holds a collection of reminiscence resources. All the resources can be borrowed by staff or volunteers for use with Rotherham patients. Please contact us if you're a carer and interested in using the resources.
These resources may help make communication easier, encourage reminiscence and reduce boredom for some patients, particularly those with dementia. They should provide an enjoyable distraction and can be a useful therapeutic tool.
