AN experiment conducted at an Old Colwyn dementia care home is the subject of a new BBC programme.
The Bangor University backed study saw a group of toddlers from First Steps Day Nursery share three days with Llys Elian residents in their 70s and 80s to see if spending time with them may help the fight the effects of dementia.
Psychologists set a series of specially designed activities to see if the children can help the adults with memory loss.
‘The Toddlers who took on Dementia’ will be shown on BBC 1 tonight at 9pm.
