Enhanced wellbeing
The Daily Sparkle resonates with our residents in a way other papers don’t. They love to read ‘The Way We Were’ section as this can bring back happy memories sometimes lost forgotten.
Advinia
A very well presented and produced resource with topical and seasonal themes useful for reality orientation, reminiscence therapy, therapeutic and cognitive activity content and also containing sensory session suggestions.
Praxis Care
The Daily Sparkle has been a very important part of our daily activities schedule. Our residents look forward to receiving them daily. We use them for group reading, one to one sessions, and room visits. The daily sparkle is a fantastic trigger for memory loss and a wonderful tool for reminiscence and discussions.
Mission Care
We find that the Daily Sparkle covers everything that we need to enrich the lives of our lovely residents. They always look forward to Monday’s new edition.

Dad was getting anxious when he read the newspapers he had delivered to his home daily. Sparkle has been wonderful. Carefully selected topics, lots of images and nostalgic articles which helped to prompt conversation.

I get such a lot of ‘mileage’ from the Daily Sparkle. It is real value for money. The residents read it, I recycle the article in themes to do reminiscing activities, we use the info to create scrap books. The opportunities are endless.
Harpwood Care
Brilliant concept with very well-chosen content. Mum gets so much satisfaction from the newspapers and magazines. It should be in every care home.

Our residents love the stories and quizzes, it keeps people occupied and they are great for relatives who find conversation hard with their loved ones.

Person-centred
Our residents look forward to it. We always have a chat about the articles and it sparks memories and we always have something to talk about and those conversations lead onto other conversations about totally different things. If there is a song we find it on the smart tv and we sing along.
