A HOUSEBUILDER has donated books for dementia patients to read.
Hollymount Care Home in Blackburn received the specialist hardback books for dementia patients.
The books donated by Miller Homes, produced by a company called Pictures To Share, have been designed to engage and entertain people with mid to later stage dementia.
They can be used to help reduce feelings of depression, isolation and agitation and can help to promote meaningful and enjoyable communication with friends, family and carers.
Book topics range from memories of 1950s and 1960s, to pets, gardens and the seaside.
