About this Event
'Adjusting to a diagnosis of dementia' session at Chichester Grange
As part of a nationwide initiative, a care home in Chichester is inviting local people to a free dementia advice event.
On Tuesday 11th February, from 2-4pm, Care UK’s Chichester Grange, on Grosvenor 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 Chichester Grange will be led by dementia expert Barbara Stephens, CEO of Dementia Pathfinders, and will provide insights into how people’s journey with dementia might unfold following a diagnosis. It will also offer advice on how to live positively with dementia, while making emotional and practical adjustments along the way. Complimentary refreshments will be available.
