This Dementia Action Week, Brentwood and Romford care homes are showcasing the work they do to help residents reignite their former passions.
One resident at RCH Care Homes used to be a renowned hairstylist but finding out about his many achievements was a challenge.
The dementia team at RCH says understanding what a dementia patient did and who they were "can be like piecing together a jigsaw puzzle".
They often speak to family and friends to find out, but this isn’t always possible.
