About this Event
Oxfordshire care home to host free dementia advice event
As part of a nationwide initiative, a care home in Thame is inviting local people to its free dementia advice event.
On Thursday 30th January, from 2-4pm, Care UK’s Cuttlebrook Hall, on Stock Road, is inviting members of the community to a special event as part of The Big Dementia Conversation, a nationwide initiative designed to show people how to better understand common symptoms and live well with the condition.
While general awareness of the condition has improved, data from Care UK shows two thirds of people who have a relative living with dementia (62%) initially put their symptoms down to old age. Many Brits remain unaware of the ways older people can lead meaningful lives with the condition, prompting Care UK to relaunch its Big Dementia Conversation for the second year running.
The ‘Adjusting to a Diagnosis of Dementia’ session at Cuttlebrook Hall will be led by dementia expert and CEO of Dementia Pathfinders, Barbara Stephens, and will provide insights into how a 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.
In addition to the event, the Thame community can also visit a newly launched online advice hub. The hub includes in-depth conversations with families of people living with dementia, as well as expert advice from Care UK’s dementia specialists to learn how to reduce the risks and symptoms of the condition.
For more information on Cuttlebrook Hall and to book a place at the event, please call Customer Relations Manager Zak Herring on 01844 700183, or email Zak.Herring@careuk.com
To support people who may be experiencing symptoms of dementia or their loved ones, Care UK has set up a free helpline and advice hub. To find out more, please visit: careuk.com/bigdementiaconversation
