Britain's What's On Event Guide
Haywards Heath care home to host free dementia event
The home will be hosting an ‘Adjusting to a Diagnosis of Dementia’ session with Barbara Stephens, co-founder and CEO of Dementia Pathfinders. She will share insights into how a journey with dementia might unfold following a diagnosis and offer advice on how to live positively with the condition while making emotional and practical adjustments along the way.
In addition to the event, the Haywards Heath community can also visit The Big Dementia Conversation online advice hub. The portal includes in-depth conversations with families of people living with dementia, as well as expert advice from Care UK’s specialists to learn how to reduce the risks and symptoms of the condition.
Sarah Barrett, Home Manager at Martlet Manor, said: “Most people will be affected by dementia in their lifetime, whether through their own diagnosis or a loved one’s. We don’t want people to feel alone and unsupported in these times.
“We understand that being more informed and having guidance can make such a difference to the people who need it, so we look forward to welcoming Barbara to Martlet Manor and having her share her knowledge on the condition.
“We’d encourage the local community to join us; together, we can build a more dementia-friendly community.”
