Original Nostalgic Poetry
Now Just Press Play contains seven original poems drawing on themes from the post war period. These poems were written specifically for use with older people including those living with dementia. They are narrated and presented by experienced care home activity leaders.
Conversation prompts
Families and caregivers will enjoy exploring and discussing hundreds of topics from the post war period that may otherwise have been forgotten.
Tried and tested
The DVD is presented and narrated by two experienced activity leaders with seven years’ experience in the UK care sector and an in-depth knowledge of the reminiscence material discussed. This material has been extensively tested in UK care homes.
Accessible
We created this DVD specifically for older people including those living with dementia. We use broadcast quality audio and large format high contrast subtitles to make it as easy to follow as possible. Images used on this DVD have been digitally edited to be as high contrast and as clear as possible. The material is presented at a measured pace with opportunities throughout to pause and discuss, or reflect on, the topics raised.

Simply Beautiful Ceremonies wrote: “This is a fantastic venture. The ladies are working to provide better ways of caring and loving those with dementia and its related problems. As a Dementia Friendly business I would highly recommend them. This DVD should be a social prescription. Dementia UK Alzheimer’s Society have a look at this and make it available across the country.” Pete Grafton London Town 54 “Thanks so much for sending me a copy of the Bonnie Day DVD Now Just Press Play. What a wonderful production it is. Congratulations to you and Gill and the production team. I was impressed with the way that some still photos were subtly animated, including one or two from London Town 54.” |
