My Life Story Book
The My Life Story Book is a thoughtful and meaningful resource created especially for older people living with dementia. More than just a workbook, it offers a simple and structured way to capture personal memories, photographs, and stories, helping individuals reflect on their life experiences and share them with others. Completing the book together with family, friends, or carers becomes a rewarding reminiscence activity that can spark conversations, strengthen bonds, and provide a sense of comfort and belonging.
As memories and details are added over time, the book becomes a valuable record that can support care planning by highlighting the individual’s needs, preferences, and lifestyle. It also provides carers and activity coordinators with prompts to engage more meaningfully, ensuring that support is centred on the person and their unique journey. For those living with dementia, the process of compiling their story can bring reassurance, dignity, and an improved sense of identity.
