Our Recent Reminiscence Sessions

Our reminiscence sessions at The Amwell continue to offer moments of warmth, comfort and genuine connection for our residents. These sessions have become a valued part of daily life within our home, giving each person the space to explore meaningful memories that have shaped who they are. Through gentle conversation, familiar music and treasured photographs, residents can revisit times in their lives that bring them joy and reassurance.

Many residents have shared how hearing a favourite song or recognising a familiar place in an old photograph helps them feel grounded and uplifted. For those living with dementia, the sessions are especially soothing, offering a sense of familiarity that often sparks smiles, conversation and the confidence to share their stories. It has been lovely to see residents light up as they talk about childhood holidays, dances they once attended or family moments that still mean so much.

The atmosphere in these sessions is warm and relaxed, with staff guiding conversations in a way that feels natural and respectful. There is no pressure to remember anything in particular. Instead, the focus is on creating a safe and supportive space where residents can connect and enjoy the company around them. It is often during these gentle conversations that friendships deepen and new bonds form, reminding everyone of the richness and value of shared experiences.

What stands out most is how these sessions bring our residents together. These moments remind us that every resident carries a lifetime of memories worth celebrating. By giving time and attention to these personal stories, we help residents feel seen, heard and truly at home.

At The Amwell, we are proud to continue offering activities that nurture wellbeing and strengthen the sense of community within our home. Our reminiscence sessions will remain an important part of this, supporting residents in a way that feels familiar and deeply personal.
