HC-ONE Scotland’s Wyndford Locks in Maryhill, Glasgow is opening its doors to offer support and reassurance.
The nursing and nursing dementia care home has invited members of the local community to attend their daily Dementia Care Café events which take place from 11am to 4pm.
They provide an opportunity for people to seek information, guidance and advice within a relaxed calm setting from highly skilled experts in dementia care.
Home manager Danielle Cunningham said: “Our Dementia Care Café events are a friendly and informal event where members of the local community including those who have been diagnosed with dementia and those who are supporting those living with a dementia diagnosis are welcome to attend.
“We want to create a safe environment where members of the local community can socialise and enjoy each other’s company, seek the advice and support they require; and learn more about dementia and the care we provide to those living with dementia at Wyndford Locks.”
The team at Wyndford Locks can assist individuals with the information they require or help to sign post individuals to other available support services.
Whilst having a cup of tea or coffee and biscuits with someone who understands, members of the local community are able to feel safe and supported to discuss their own or someone else’s dementia diagnosis and what this means for them and their future.
Attendees can receive answers to questions from health and social care professionals as well as share experiences and learn from other people who are living in similar situations.
