Our fifth Learning to Care event will be focused on 'Living Better with Dementia'.

About this Event

We will look at getting support from GPs, mental health teams and charities. We will cover better ways of communicating with people with dementia and provide an introduction to the Nemaste Care Programme. A new Bell House film giving tips on managing medication will be shown.

Is this event for me?

Are you:

• Involved in caring for an elderly family member?

• Wanting to know more about how to support an elderly person in your life to stay in their own home and maintain their independence for as long as possible?

• An older member of the community wanting advice on how to continue to live independently in a safe manner?

If this is the case for you, then this will be a useful event for you.

What is the Learning to Care project?

The Learning to Care project at Bell House has been set up to help educate people on how to care for and support their elderly family, friends and neighbours through a series of talks and short films. With an ageing population, it is vital that we educate ourselves now on the best ways to offer support to the elderly people in our lives.

This event is free to attend. Please register attendance.
