Fe wnaeth papur ymchwil yn 2012 ragweld y byddai’n gyffredin i bobl â dementia fod â hanes bywyd digidol erbyn 2017, yn cynnwys hoff gerddoriaeth, lluniau a chlipiau fideo. Rhyngwyneb sgrin gyffwrdd fydd yr offeryn. Y broblem fydd sut i drefnu’r holl ddefnydd gwerthfawr sydd ar gael fel bod yr unigolyn yn gallu defnyddio’r offeryn i ysgogi ei atgofion ac i rannu peth o’i fywyd gydag eraill. Os gellir gwneud hyn, bydd yr offeryn yma yn galluogi gweithwyr gofal i ddod i adnabod y person sydd â dementia yn fuan, ac i ddatblygu rhaglenni gweithgaredd a symbyliad sy’n adlewyrchu diddordebau a hoff bethau’r person. Mae potensial yma i godi safon gofal sy’n canolbwyntio ar yr unigolyn i lefel uwch, ac yn ei gwneud yn haws i weithwyr gofal addasu dull gweithredu sy’n cymryd bywgraffiad y person i ystyriaeth.

The Book of You by Claire Kendal | Goodreads The Book of You by Claire Kendal | Goodreads

It is a stylish and modern memory book to be filled out each year from age one through to sixteen. Deemed to be the continuation of the baby book, the journal’s recordings mature as the child does. It is the only childhood record book with prompts for the adult and questions for the child (from the age of three).

This is a five star read despite the fact that I felt a little disengaged at the end, not strongly enough to be disappointed but after such a good beginning the ending felt a little contrived. Despite this I would recommend this to everyone (except stalkers) who enjoy a good read with a storyline that makes you question how you would react, what is the right response if someone won’t leave you alone?

I am a Care Home - Book Of You I am a Care Home - Book Of You

Mae’r rhan fwyaf o gartrefi gofal eisoes yn defnyddio math o brofforma papur ‘Dyma fi’ er mwyn i’r staff gael dysgu rhywfaint am y preswylwyr – er enghraifft eu hoff a’u cas bethau. Mae Book of You yn mynd un cam ymhellach ac yn ein galluogi i ddarganfod mwy am unigolyn, fel y rheswm pam nad yw’n hoffi rhywbeth arbennig. Yn ogystal â bod yn amhrisiadwy i’r staff, mae’n rhoi mwyniant i’r preswylydd ar ei ben ei hun neu gyda ffrindiau neu ofalwyr. Gan ei fod ar y We ac aelodau o’r teulu yn gallu ymuno drwy ddefnyddio cyfrinair, mae’n gallu dangos i’r teuluoedd beth mae’r perthynas yn wneud yn ystod y dydd – gweithgareddau, teithiau, ayb. A gall y teulu ychwanegu pethau at y Llyfr hefyd fel bod y preswylydd yn gallu gweld priodasau, newydd-ddyfodiaid i’r teulu, ayb., o ben baladr. Gall Book of You fynd gyda’r preswylydd i ysbyty neu os ydi o’n symud i gartref arall. Fel hyn fydd y wybodaeth byth yn mynd ar goll fel gall ddigwydd yn aml gyda ffeiliau papur. If you are currently searching for a job, do you know what will make you truly happy? Do you know what will make you successful? Do you know what you will need from your boss or coworkers to be understood and to reduce stress at work? How would you know the ideal job if it were offered to you? I can't honestly say that I enjoyed this book. It was difficult to read. Both the content and style of writing contributed. Firstly, much of the story was told in the second person. In my experience, this narrative perspective is seldom used and I have found it to be jarring and voyeuristic. I hate books/movies/ TV shows where a character is being warned with a loudspeaker, bright bold yellow highlighter, flares that you have something bad you are trying to warn them off, but said character acts like she doesn't see/hear any shrill alert in your voice.

MEMORY MAKERS

Wow. This is by no means an easy read as it features stalking, kidnap, violence and abuse and at times it is truly terrifying- forget to breathe terrifying. Clarissa Bourne is stalked by a man with whom she foolishly has what MIGHT be described as a one night stand. He will not let go and pursues her in a variety of ways. The story takes the form of a journal in which she records the events and this works brilliantly. At times it is creepy and terrifying and so, so scary and of course, I couldn’t put it down.
