As I am sure many of you are aware the 15th – 21st May is Dementia Awareness Week. In the UK, there are about 800,000 people with dementia; it is estimated that around 400,000 people have dementia but do not know it. By raising awareness about this condition, it is hoped that more people will be diagnosed earlier, giving more time for them to come to terms with future symptoms.
On Thursday the 19th May Home Instead Oldham & Saddleworth have teamed up with Millercare Mobility Specialists and JFS Protect to offer a Dementia Information/Friends session, information on Mobility Aids and Adaptations and a talk on Lasting Power of Attorney.
The day will run 10am-2pm with the Dementia friends session in the morning, a light lunch with the chance to look around the Millercare store and talk to staff and the LPA session in the afternoon. The day will be held at the Millercare Showroom on Huddersfield Road, Oldham, more details on the poster attached.
Although this is an open day and you can just pop along, we are taking bookings just to ensure those who want to attend the sessions have a definite place.
Please contact Home Instead on 01457 874566 to book a place.
We look forward to seeing you on the 19th.
