Hailsham care home invites community to dementia networking lunch

Mon 18 May
Free to attend, 12.30pm-1.30pm Bowes House, 25 Battle Rd, Hailsham BN27 1DU A care home in Hailsham is inviting the local community to its free dementia networking event. On Monday 18th May, from 12.30pm-1.30pm, Care UK’s Bowes House on Battle Road will be holding its annual dementia networking lunch. The special event aims to bring together local people with a range of service providers who care for those living in the community with dementia, as well as their families. Guests can enjoy a buffet lunch, specially prepared by the home’s Head Chef, meet the Bowes House team and spend time learning about the resources and materials available, in a relaxed, caring setting. Dementia can affect every aspect of a person’s life, from memory and communication to confidence and independence. As the condition progresses, it also impacts families, friends and carers, who may find themselves unsure how best to look after a loved one or feeling worried about saying the wrong thing. Events like this aim to break down those barriers, helping people feel better informed, more confident and less alone. Lisa Phillips, Customer Relations Manager at Bowes House, said: “Dementia can sometimes make it harder for people to express themselves – whether that’s the person living with the condition or the loved ones around them who want to help but don’t always know how. “Through our dementia networking lunch, we want to create a welcoming space where people can ask questions, share experiences and learn practical ways to support loved ones more confidently and compassionately. By bringing the community together, we hope to make dementia something people feel able to talk about, rather than something they face in silence. “We encourage the local community to join us so that together we can build a more dementia-friendly Hailsham.”...
