Abstract:
This resource, created by Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums (TWAM) and Northumbria University, Newcastle, supports health and social care professionals to use museums as part of a care practice when working with older people.
The resource suggests heritage activities and identifies how these activities could specifically support quality of life, health and wellbeing in older people, for example: pain management, speech, cognitive stimulation, mental health, and social interaction. Each activity sheet features searchable clinical and care outcomes that have been coded to categories such as Physical/Mobility, Social, Cognitive/Knowledge/Learning and Mindful/Emotional.Suggested activities include art appreciation.
