The result of a partnership with the Alzheimer’s Society, “La Boîte à Causeries” is a loanable activity kit based on the principle of reminiscence, created to facilitate conversation with someone who is disoriented
Here are the various items available to borrow from their “La Boîte à Causeries” box, a little treasure trove of shared emotions:
- a hot-water bottle
- a toy tea set
- a packet of Rémy starch
- a Meccano set
- a pair of children’s shoes
- a school bag
… The choice is yours!
Loan conditions
Leaders of groups including people with dementia, care home staff, healthcare professionals… can borrow a ‘Boîte à Causeries’ free of charge in exchange for a €50 cash deposit, which will be returned once the contents have been checked upon return.
The loan period is two weeks. This may be extended on request, provided the box has not already been reserved by someone else.
