Lost for words? Quorn care home to host dementia advice event

Tue 24 Feb 26
Farley Way Quorn Loughborough LE12 8XS A care home in Quorn is inviting local people to its free dementia advice event. On Tuesday 24th February, from 2pm–4pm, Care UK’s Lonsdale Mews, on Farley Way, 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. 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 that 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 relaunched its Big Dementia Conversation for the third year running, encouraging practical support and greater understanding for families and communities. The “Let’s talk about dementia” session at Lonsdale Mews will be led by dementia expert Linda Dawes. The event will shine a light on some lesser-known symptoms of dementia, while offering simple tips to better understand why loved ones may behave differently after a diagnosis. In addition to the event, the Quorn 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, the guide is designed to help relatives overcome communication barriers and interact more easily and confidently with loved ones living with the condition.
