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

Wed 11 Mar 26
Wednesday 11th March at 11am–12.30pm Tor Na Dee North Deeside Road Milltimber AB13 0HR On Wednesday 11th March at 11am–12.30pm, Care UK’s Tor-Na-Dee, on North Deeside Road in Milltimber, 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 10 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 ‘Staying Connected: a Guide to Dementia-Friendly Conversations’ session at Tor-Na-Dee will be led by Deputy Home Manager, Claire Carrie. The event will explore practical ways to communicate more effectively with people living with dementia, while offering simple strategies to stay connected, reduce frustration and create more meaningful moments in everyday life. For more information about Tor-Na-Dee and to book your place for the event, please call Customer Relations Manager Helen Stone on 01224 042731, email helen.stone@careuk.com or visit careuk.com/tor-na-dee...
