About this Event
Getting Cheadle talking
On Wednesday 14th February, from 10am-12noon, Care UK’s Abney Court, in Abney Hall Park, is inviting members of the community for a special Dementia Café 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.
According to a recent survey, commissioned by Care UK, eight in ten adults believe dementia is still misunderstood, with 69 percent of the nation believing it’s a subject which is not talked about enough in society. Many people also admit finding the condition uncomfortable to discuss –something Care UK is hoping to change by launching The Big Dementia Conversation.
The Dementia Café session at Abney Court will give those living with dementia and their loved ones an opportunity to meet other people in similar situations, share experiences and gain advice and support. There will also be plenty of refreshment and freshly baked treats, specially made by Abney Court’s chef.
In addition to the event, the Cheadle community can also visit a newly launched online advice hub. The hub takes a closer look at some of the less-talked-about symptoms of dementia, with expert advice from Care UK’s dementia specialists, who have more than 40 years of experience providing care for people living with the condition.
Amcia Hara, Home Manager at Abney Court, said: “Here at Abney Court, we strive to create a sense of belonging within the home and provide a positive impact on the local community by building support systems for our neighbours.
