About this Event
Crowborough care home hosts free dementia advice event
As part of a nationwide initiative, a care home in Crowborough is inviting local people to its free dementia advice event.
On Tuesday 18th February, from 2-4pm, Care UK’s Heather View, on Beacon 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 ‘Typical signs of ageing or dementia?’ session at Heather View will be led by Care UK dementia specialist Alison Butler and will provide insights into the classic signs of ageing and how symptoms differ from dementia. Advice on how to support a loved one with their changing physical and emotional needs will also be available, along with tips on living well with dementia, and complimentary refreshments will be provided.
To find out more about Heather View, or to book a place at the event, contact Customer Relations Manager René Lubbock on 01892 883 574, or email rene.lubbock@careuk.com
