Britain's What's On Event Guide
Lost for words? Bracknell care home to host dementia advice event
A care home in Bracknell is inviting the local community to its free dementia advice event.
On Wednesday 4th February at 5pm–6.30pm, Care UK’s Bickerton House on Warfield Road will be holding a special session as part of The Big Dementia Conversation – a nationwide initiative designed to show people how to better understand common symptoms and how it is possible to live well with the condition.
While awareness of dementia has improved, survey data from Care UK reveals families still face challenges when it comes to communicating with loved ones. Nearly four in ten people (39%) said they avoid visiting relatives with dementia because of how difficult it can be, and nearly all of those polled (96%) feel communication barriers prevent meaningful interaction.
To help address these challenges, Care UK has launched The Big Dementia Conversation for the third year running, encouraging practical support and greater understanding for families and communities.
The ‘Staying Connected: a Guide to Dementia-Friendly Conversations’ session at Bickerton House will be led by Customer Relations Manager Chantel Baigent and Dementia Care Coach Ralueke Ekezie. The event will explore practical ways to communicate more effectively with people living with dementia, while offering simple strategies to stay connected, reduce frustration and create more meaningful moments in everyday life.
