A care homes in Newbury is inviting the local community to their free dementia advice event.
Care UK’s Newbury Grove, on London Road, will be holding special sessions 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 ‘Understanding Dementia’ session at Newbury Grove on Wednesday 4th March at 6pm–8pm will be led by Customer Relations Manager Julie Howick. The event will provide an opportunity to learn more about dementia, how it can affect people as they age and what you can do to support a loved one living with the condition.
