It is certainly not 'patronising' in any way. patients can often only relate to items and equipment they were familiar with many years ago and anything that can stimulate them and give them comfort must be a good thing.
Most of us on this Forum may develop dementia later in life and it is possible that some of us may have the early symptoms of this horrible disease at the present time. A lot of us are actually LIVING in the past to some extent [including me] so we are probably half down the lane already! I think we all need to be a bit more compassionate and understanding.
