Like a prayer

Article Abstract:

The UK Christian Council on Ageing has set up a project in Newcastle, UK, to help the demented in residential care by worship and prayer and to train volunteer visitors. It is hoped that the project will stimulate the memories of sufferers. The manager of Dene Lodge Nursing Home, and a mental health nurse, Christine Robinson, who was sceptical initially, is now committed to the project. According to a survey by the Alzheimer's Disease Society, prayer is used in many residential homes to assist in communication.
