About the Author

Fran West has been as a public library manager dealing a lot with

elderly patrons. Then she had a mid life creativity, gave up her career,

and decided to fly herself around Australia’s coast, taking photos as

she went. Much later on, quite by accident, she was asked by two

activities coordinators to create some DVDs for the men in their

facilities. From that small beginning she has developed a passion (and

a business) for creating products suitable for dementia patients and

aged care generally. Now there are CDs with interactive jigsaws and

quizzes, Photo Downloads, Kindle picture books and wooden jigsaw

puzzles. Her photos are also available on a variety of products from Zazzle and CafePress.
