Britain's What's On Event Guide
Lost for words? Orpington care home to host dementia advice event
A care home in Orpington is inviting local people to its free dementia advice event.
On Thursday 19th February, from 3pm-5pm, Care UK’s Foxbridge House on Sevenoaks Road, will be holding a special event 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.
To help address these challenges, Care UK has relaunched its Big Dementia Conversation for the third year running, encouraging practical support and greater understanding for families and communities.
The “Typical signs of ageing or dementia” session at Foxbridge House will be led by Georgina Marshal, the home’s Dementia champion. The event will provide an opportunity to learn more about the typical signs of ageing and how symptoms differ from dementia and give guidance on how to live well with the condition.
In addition to the event, the Orpington community can explore a newly launched online advice hub, which features in-depth conversations with families of people living with dementia alongside expert advice from Care UK’s dementia specialists.
They can also obtain a free guide packed with practical tips to help relatives overcome communication barriers and interact more easily and confidently with loved ones living with dementia. To find out more, please visit careuk.com/bigdementiaconversation
