Help raise funds so that Blackwood can buy an interactive technology system that enriches the lives of people with dementia and other mental health needs.

Technology is revolutionising the ways in which care homes are operated and how services are offered to residents. With many choices available to suit the requirements of any care home, providing a modern and forward-thinking solution - an interactive magic table introduces technology to both carers and residents while also providing them with entertainment, group activities and elderly care programmes, and ensuring there is a focus on person centred care.

The use of technology in a care home environment is key to residents becoming familiar with and understanding digital technology, keeping their brains active and their minds fulfilled. Interaction and human contact are an essential aspect of our lives - and an interactive magic table makes it easy for groups to enjoy games, resources and technology together, mitigating the effects of loneliness they may feel.

Research continues to support the claims that regularly involving people in physical activities that stimulate movement, communication and mental engagement will always be beneficial and ultimately enhance their quality of life.

Anne Thomas, Chief Executive of Cornwall Care says: 'Supporting people to have meaningful and stimulating interaction is an important part of what we do and we will continue to embrace new ways of enriching the lives and experience of everyone in our care'.
