Navigating Challenges & Understanding Behaviour

Join us next Tuesday for our Family Caregiver Education and Support class, facilitated by Marie Fay, our Clinical Director.

We’ll explore what changes in behaviour may be communicating, common triggers and practical strategies for responding. The session will also cover delirium, the role of medication, crisis prevention and de-escalation, and available support resources.

There will be time for questions and discussion with other family caregivers.

📅 Tuesday, October 20
🕕 6:00–8:00 p.m. (doors open at 5:30 p.m.)

Thank you to everyone who joined us for our World Alzheimer’s Day Open House on Monday. More than 50 people came through the doors to meet our team, learn about our services and try some of our regular Daily Activities.

We moved with Frances, sang with the Silver Strummers, enjoyed chair yoga with Jacqueline, and finished with Music for Memories with Tony and John B.

Alongside the activities, our occupational therapists carried out 13 private cognitive screenings. The Honourable Minister, Tinee Furbert, also joined us, said a few words and chose to have a screening herself. We appreciated how openly she took part and encouraged all of us to think proactively about our brain health.

Thank you to everyone who helped make the afternoon such a success. 💜

Lastly, we were very disappointed to have to postpone our Ask the Experts and Lunch & Learn events that were supposed to follow our open house, but we hope to confirm new dates soon.

21/09/2026

⚠️ BOTH EVENTS POSTPONED

We are very disappointed to share that the following events will not take place as scheduled:

Ask the Experts: Dementia – What You Need to Know. What You Can Do.
Tuesday, September 22 at BUEI

Dementia Care Today: A Lunch & Learn for Healthcare Professionals
Wednesday, September 23 at The Cloud

Our visiting speakers from Cleveland Clinic, Dr. Roopa Anmolsingh and Dr. Gina Elder, have been caught up in the widespread flight disruptions at Newark Airport and are unable to reach Bermuda before Thursday.

We hope to reschedule both talks, when the speakers are next available, and will share the new details once confirmed - this will likely not be before the new year.

As many people were planning to attend Tuesday evening’s event without registering, please help us spread the word by sharing this post.

We sincerely apologise for the disappointment and inconvenience caused by these unforeseen circumstances.

Today marks World Alzheimer’s Day.

Living well with dementia does not mean minimising how serious or life-changing the condition can be. It means recognising that a diagnosis alone should not determine what someone can or cannot do.

Particularly when dementia is identified earlier, a person may continue working, managing responsibilities, driving and participating fully in family and community life. Decisions should be based on the person’s individual abilities, safety and appropriate professional advice—not the diagnosis alone.

The right support will look different for everyone. It may include treatment, occupational therapy, changes to routines or environments, meaningful activity, social connection and support for family caregivers.

This does not stop the progression of dementia. It can help someone use the abilities they still have, maintain independence and continue doing what matters to them for longer.

Dementia Bermuda is here with information, guidance and practical support.

What does Dementia Bermuda do? What happens during our Daily Activities programme? And what can you do if you are curious—or concerned—about your brain health?

Our World Alzheimer’s Day Open House is an opportunity to meet our team, learn more about our services and ask questions in an informal setting.

From 1:00–3:00 p.m., our Daily Activities team will offer movement and music taster sessions. You are welcome to join in or simply observe.

From 1:00–4:00 p.m., our occupational therapists will offer free private cognitive screenings and brain-health conversations. The screenings are optional and are not diagnostic. They provide a point-in-time cognitive snapshot and an opportunity to discuss the result, any concerns and whether further follow-up may be useful. You can also speak with an OT about brain health without completing a screening.

Monday, September 21
Peace Lutheran Church, Paget
Welcome, remarks and food from noon
Daily Activities taster sessions: 1:00–3:00 p.m.
Cognitive screenings and brain-health conversations: 1:00–4:00 p.m.

Everyone is welcome. No appointment or registration is required.

Our monthly Family Caregiver Education and Support class is underway tonight.
To mark World Alzheimer’s Month, this evening places particular focus on the wellbeing of family caregivers.

A warm thank you to our guest speaker, Dr Adriene Berkeley, for joining us and sharing her expertise with the families here tonight.

Our free monthly programme provides practical information, discussion and connection for those supporting a loved one living with dementia. Classes are based on the 12-module Compass Guide to Dementia Caregiving, developed specifically for Bermuda by our Clinical Director, Marie Fay.

Supporting people with dementia also means supporting those who care for them. 💜

It is understandable to feel afraid of a possible dementia diagnosis.

People may worry that there is no point in knowing, that nothing can be done, or that a diagnosis will immediately change how others see them.

But not knowing does not stop the changes. Without an explanation, people and families may spend longer trying to make sense of what is happening—and important decisions may be left until a crisis occurs.

A diagnosis does not lessen the seriousness or emotional impact of dementia. It can help identify the type and likely cause, clarify treatment and support options, and give the person more opportunity to be involved in decisions about their own life.

It may also provide an explanation for changes that have been difficult for everyone to understand.

If you are unsure how to begin the conversation, Dementia Bermuda can provide information and guidance.
