Active Minds offers a range of signage and books designed to help people with dementia communicate with carers and navigate their homes.

Communication difficulties are common within the care sector. Losing the ability to speak or understand is frightening and can often lead to frustration and a feeling of isolation. Using our books and signage helps reduce misunderstandings by removing language as a barrier, letting the pictures do the talking.

Active Minds offers a range of five signs in two different sizes. The signs are self-adhesive, tough, non-reflective and waterproof. Bold lettering and easily recognised images on a brightly coloured background help communicate with the user and increase their independence.

Active Minds also offers two books that help cares with day-to-day tasks. A selection of clear and simple images helps communicate when language is a problem. From getting dressed, cleaning teeth to choosing what to have for lunch.

The signage produced an immediate benefit on our residents, making them much more independent. Worth every penny!”
