Dementia Friends session - Hallmark Banstead Manor

Date: Monday 26 Aug 2019

Location: 8 Brighton Road, Banstead, SM7 1BS

Organiser: Hallmark Banstead Manor

Banstead Manor, our care home in Banstead, Surrey, is hosting a dementia friends’ session to encourage visitors to learn more about the condition and to help raise awareness.

The event will be taking place on Monday 26th August at 12:00pm.

The informal and interactive session will be run by our homes Dementia Champions, Melissa Jorgensen and Tammy Symonds.

The short session which lasts approximately 40 minutes will explore what it’s like to live with dementia, how you can support someone who lives with dementia to live a fulfilled life and the small things you can do to make a difference.

Visitors who complete the session will receive a dementia friends’ badge and takeaway material from the Alzheimer’s Society.

Melissa Jorgensen said: “The drop-in session will tell you everything you need to know about dementia. One in three of us will live with dementia in their life, therefore it’s important that as a care provider we get the word out there and as a community we become more dementia friendly.”
