We're often told how helpful the bookcase analogy is in explaining - in a non-scientific way - how memory may be affected by dementia. Having an understanding of how dementia may affect a person helps us look for ways to better support them. You can hear the bookcase analogy explained in more detail and learn other useful analogies in a Dementia Friends Session. Sign up now: bit.ly/34A0313 | Dementia Friends

Have you ever heard of the bookcase analogy to describe dementia? Katelin, one of our Dementia Advisers, explains how this analogy can help us understand how dementia affects our memories. This can help us meet people living with dementia where they are, and make small changes to allow them to stay independent for longer. If you need any support or advice, give our Dementia Support Line a call on 0333 150 3456 to speak to a Dementia Adviser like Katelin. Wherever you are in your dementia journey
