So Jealous of this group, who share beautiful countryside as well as a purpose built building that meets the needs of the People who may be Living their Lives with Dementia.
Living at home for as long as possible with respite provision is surely the best provision of care for all.
Maybe we should aim for similar buildings, rather than civic centre's, church halls etc being used for a few hours on a monthly or weekly basis.
Perhaps Councils planning committee's should consider this in their major expansions of housing.
Our communities have been segregated by planners and limited budgets.
The phrase "Village " has sadly disappeared rapidly... Gedling, Papplewick, Calverton. Numerous others in the name of progress and meeting needs!!

Communication keeps us connected.

Rachel, Martyna and Louise had a meeting. And of course, Gerry had to supervise.

These conversations matter. The check-ins, the feedback loops, the moments where we actually listen to each other. That's how we build a team that works. That's how our Care Professionals know they're supported.

Communication isn't just about sharing information. It's about showing up for each other, being honest, and caring enough to get it right. It's the backbone of everything we do.

Those who can afford £75 p.p. could not find a more worthy cause to support. Regrettably I can only wish them well and pass on my best wishes and spread the word. I hope its a sell out.

Great to see improved support systems for those of us Living With Dementia.

The Dementia Team has expanded its support offer with the introduction of a monthly evening clinic, making it easier for carers, families, staff and anyone affected by dementia, delirium or other cognitive impairments to access advice and support outside of standard working hours.

The evening clinic will take place on the first Wednesday of every month from 4 pm to 7 pm in the main reception at King’s Mill Hospital. August's session will be held on Wednesday 5th.

Alongside the new evening sessions, the team continues to run its regular daytime dementia clinics:

🩵 King’s Mill Hospital | Tuesday 4 August | 10am to 12 noon | King’s Treatment Centre
🩵 Newark Hospital | Thursday 6 August | 10am to 12 noon | Main Corridor
🩵 Mansfield Community Hospital | Friday 7 August | 10am to 12 noon | Main Reception

The clinics are available to anyone affected by dementia, delirium or other signs of cognitive impairment, including carers and staff. They provide an opportunity to ask questions, access advice and find information and support tailored to individual needs.

Thursday is our coach trip to The National Arboretum War Museum.
Late cancellations won't spoil the exciting trip. I have never been before and I have been told it's highly recommended. Let's hope for good weather once more.

We learn something NEW every day. I am very thankful to NCVS for putting out this information.
I was diagnosed 2011 with Early on set Dementia. I consider myself proactive, but not shocked to discover this group who help with advice "with end of life for PLWD.
Is this information shared with local G.P. surgeries, Society etc?
