Daily Sparkle Avis 

Excellent resources to engage with older people and those with dementia.
They have been used very successfully with some of our groups and our service users love them.

Here at Silvermere Care Home we use The Daily Sparkle daily. We find it very useful for many reasons it enables us to bring a bit of sparkle, excuse the pun, into some residents lives. We would definitely recommend this company to care homes and individuals.

The Daily Sparkle is a great too to use when working with older people, it is full of useful information from previous years and the music CD and carers notes are a great asset too.

The Daily Sparkle and monthly magazine and resource pack are a very much looked forward to in our home. There are always great topics to discuss and different things to learn, with quizzes and a sing song, it's an all round package. With the music CD each month as well this is such good value for money and the team are always trying to find more ways to help out and find ways to improve the product to enhance the lives of our residents.
It is good for staff, residents, families and friends and we even have inquiries from professionals about how to obtain them.
The team at the Daily Sparkle are always very friendly and helpful and always reply promptly to any queries we may have.

Very entertaining and engaging, this has been a great hit with the residents.
The residents are able to engage with fond memories which relaxes them and creates a blanket of warmth, assurance and a smile.
Thank you Daily Sparkle.
