✦AI Summary
The Nightingales Medical Trust in Bengaluru has launched a campaign to collect vintage household items for India's first integrated dementia care village, Smriti Gram. These objects will be used as memory cues to help patients with dementia improve their emotional well-being and cognitive recognition.
An old radio gathering dust in the attic, a hand-operated sewing machine, a brass utensil passed down through generations or a black-and-white television that no longer works could soon find a new purpose: helping a person living with dementia reconnect with cherished memories.
