smell alrams

Liz Taylor 08/08/14 Dignity Champions forum

The following query was received on the email system. does anyone know about these.

I have just read about the plug in smell alarms that is an aide to promote eating for people with Dementia .

Please can you tell me if these are available, cost and if they are available can a patient trial one first?

Thanks a lot

Hi Liz two replies from the Facebook page:

I know of a care home that trialled it with brilliant results.

It strikes me, that this is the type of example of 'something that improved things' which the Willis team are 'trawling for' - is anybody going to send it

'I know of a care home that trialled it with brilliant results.'

in to Willis ?

I put the link to the Willis webpage somewhere on here recently (I've an idea, in the 'poem' once).

And you don't NEED to complete and use the template Willis provides for download - you can instead send in a quick e-mail saying who you are, what was tried out, and how it improved things (in other words, 'an example of good practice').

'Brilliant results' needs highlighting, anyway !
