Hayling care home hosts popular dementia awareness talk

Wimborne Care Home on Hayling Island hosted a Spring Open Day on Saturday 25th April. As well as inviting guests to see this beautiful home there was the opportunity to enjoy a pianist and sample delicious home made cakes and refreshments. Additionally, visitors had the invitation to attend a talk run by ex NHS Dementia Coach and Educator Nikki Shepherd.

‘Dementia Awareness and Understanding’ is a 1 hour presentation, developed to give families, friends, carers and loved ones as well as the general public a better understanding of the disease and how to support those living with a diagnosis.

Attendees came for a variety of reasons, but all shared a willingness to learn and the talk was certainly well received.

Nikki is available to give this talk throughout the area and can be reached via Wimborne on 02392 467369.

Stephen Stace, Peri General manager of Wimborne, said: "We are delighted to have had such a beautiful day to show off our lovely home. We enjoyed sharing with our visitors what makes Wimborne a home where residents are safe, happy, well and living good, meaningful lives."
