Britain's What's On Event Guide
'Let's talk about dementia' at Queen's Court
On Tuesday 22nd October, from 2pm-4pm, and again from 6pm-8pm, the Care UK team at Queen’s Court, on Dedworth Road, will open its doors for the ‘Let’s talk about dementia’ event, where team member Leahanne Wilkinson will share professional advice and support.
Leahanne will deliver the session to help individuals understand the different types of dementia and how family support plans and distraction techniques can help older people to live well with the condition.
This session is centered around Care UK's easy-to-read Q&A guide, titled ‘Let’s talk about dementia’, which taps into 40 years of experience from Care UK’s dementia experts and home managers across the country.
Research by Care UK earlier this year revealed that eight in 10 adults believe dementia is still misunderstood, with 69% believing it’s a subject not talked about enough in society.
Bozena Szczepaniak, new Home Manager at Queen’s Court, said: “While much has been done in the way of raising awareness of dementia, there are still a lot of things people don’t know or aren’t comfortable talking about.
“There are currently around 850,000 people living with dementia in the UK and the numbers are rising, which is why we strongly believe in sharing professional knowledge to help support local carers and family members.
“This event will provide a great opportunity for people to meet other members of the community who may also be supporting their loved ones.”
There will be a Q&A at the end of both sessions to ensure attendees get the most out of the session, alongside an opportunity to meet the friendly team at Queen’s Court.
