Rose is an 86 year old woman with Alzheimer’s disease (a common type of dementia). She had been a swimming coach for many years when her children were in school. She still enjoys swimming at the local pool as much as possible. When she moved to an aged care residence recently, she let the staff know that swimming was important to her. They were able to organise regular group outings to the pool for swimming and water aerobics. Rose enjoyed helping to teach others, in the group, who were not as confident in the water. She said to the staff that she felt valued again.
