About the Author:
Roger Sim is a freelance writer and arts in healthcare/ reminiscence facilitator of many years experience. He was a senior member of LIME (formerly Hospital Arts) working in the North West of England and further afield from 1980 - 1998 responsible for the development of projects involving older people and programmes of aural arts. He was co-founder and co-ordinator of the Salford based Manchester Reminiscence Project, an arts organisation working with older people and staff in residential and healthcare contexts from 1985 until its conclusion in 1997. Roger recently co-ordinated on behalf of Northamptonshire County Council 'Spirit of the Valley' a countywide programme of participatory arts events. Trained as a community worker in Leicester, he has been involved in developing numerous creative cultural projects both within and outside of the care context.
Review:
"This very useful and informative book is an excellent source of the general theory and subsequent practice of reminiscence, which will provide a most helpful guide to care staff and managers working with the more able older person living in a care home." - Sybil Gardiner, The journal of Dementia Care "Readers of REMINISCENCE MAGAZINE should definitely add this book to their library, share it with colleagues and call on its practical wisdom for the ultimate benefit of all older people in care." - Pam Schweitzer, Reminiscence
