Britain's What's On Event Guide
Local care home joins The Big Dementia Conversation
On Tuesday 30th January, from 2pm-4pm, Care UK’s Carpathia Grange, on Southampton Road, is inviting members of the community for a special event as part of The Big Dementia Conversation – a nationwide initiative designed to encourage people to talk about dementia, including some of the most difficult topics associated with the condition.
The Let’s talk about dementia session at Carpathia Grange will provide insights into some aspects of dementia that are not often talked about, such as changes in personality, as well as why a loved one might be behaving differently and what you can do to support them.
Pooja Dhoot, Home Manager at Carpathia Grange, said: “Dementia affects millions of lives every year, not just those diagnosed but also their families and friends. We understand how difficult it can be navigating the changes that come when caring for a loved one living with dementia, and the many questions people have.
“Here at Carpathia Grange, we recognise the importance and value of talking to one another, whether that be sharing advice or concerns, seeking support, or sometimes simply having someone there to listen. The Big Dementia Conversation offers the perfect opportunity for families to come together, learn from the experts, and find comfort in those in a similar position.
“With extensive experience caring for residents living with the condition, the team here at Carpathia Grange have a lot of knowledge and advice to share. We’re looking forward to welcoming the local community and sharing this advice for what we anticipate will be an incredibly helpful afternoon for all involved.”
