The home will host three free dementia friends sessions from 6.30pm to 8pm on:

• Monday 18 June
• Monday 9 July
• Thursday 26 July

The home are hosting a Dementia Friends sessions, an Alzheimer’s Society initiative that will not only provide people with an understanding of dementia but also show the easy ways to turn understanding into action to support those living with dementia.

Home manager, Andrew Green said: “There is still such a stigma associated with the subject, despite so many people living with dementia – we are ready to quash this.

“We hope that our local community will join us in learning more about how to support someone living with, or caring for someone with dementia at our free sessions. We are looking forward to meeting you.”
