Lost for words? A Berkshire care home to host dementia advice event

Thu 26 Feb 26
Helston Lane Windsor Berkshire SL4 5GG A care homes in Berkshire is inviting the local community to their free dementia advice event. Care UK’s Mountbatten Grange, in Windsor, are 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. At Mountbatten Grange, Customer Relations Manager Claire Usher alongside Mountbatten Grange’s Dementia Champion will be hosting a ‘Let’s Talk About Dementia’ session on Thursday 26th February at 6pm–7.30pm. This event will shine a light on aspects of dementia that are not often spoken about and will provide further understanding about how to support loved ones and why they behave differently. For more information about Mountbatten Grange and to book a spot, please contact Customer Relations Manager Claire Usher on 01753 336753, email claire.usher@careuk.com or visit careuk.com/mountbatten-grange...
