Britain's What's On Event Guide
Dementia advice event at Care UK's Ayton House
A care home in Angmering is inviting the local community to a free event to help people adjust to life following a dementia diagnosis.
On Thursday 21st November, from 11am-12.30pm, the Care UK team at Ayton House, on Dappers Lane, will open its doors for the ‘Adjusting to a diagnosis of dementia’ event, where dementia expert Barbara Stephens, Co-Founder and CEO of Dementia Pathfinders, will share professional advice and support.
Barbara will deliver the session to share insights into how someone’s journey with dementia might unfold following a diagnosis and offer advice on how to live positively with dementia, while making emotional and practical adjustments along the way.
Guests can also take a tour of the new care home, which is set to open at the end of November. The home will provide full-time residential and specialist dementia care, as well as short-term respite care for up to 70 individuals.
Joel Ignacio, Home Manager at Ayton House, said: “Receiving a dementia diagnosis is a life-changing reality that leaves many people seeking support and advice.
“There are currently around 944,000 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 families.
“This event will provide a great opportunity for people to meet other members of the community who may also be supporting loved ones living with dementia or coming to terms with a diagnosis themselves.”
There will also be a Q&A at the event to ensure attendees get the most out of the session, alongside an opportunity to meet the friendly team at Ayton House.
