Britain's What's On Event Guide
Lost for words? Eye care home to host dementia advice event
A care home in Eye is inviting the local community to its free dementia advice event.
On Wednesday 11th March from 2pm–4pm, Care UK’s Hartismere Place on Castleton Way 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 (93%) 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 Spring Memories Tea Dance at Hartismere Place will offer a chance to connect and share memories while picking up simple, practical tips for communicating with people living with dementia. The event will feature musical entertainment from local vocalist Lainey King.
In addition to the event, the Eye 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 specialists. To find out more, please visit careuk.com/bigdementiaconversation.
