Best Practices in Caring for People Living with Dementia

Marking the conclusion of Alzheimer’s awareness month, join us at the Civic Hotel in Surrey on February 20th, 2024 for an insightful symposium on dementia. This event will delve into crucial aspects of creating dementia-friendly communities and a more dementia-inclusive society. Expert speakers will explore best practices in care home design, education and training, behavioural support, and addressing the evolving needs of an aging population.

The symposium goes beyond physical care, tackling the pervasive stigma associated with dementia. Attendees will gain valuable insights into addressing myths and misconceptions, supportive language, and how to promote well-being among individuals living with dementia. Moreover, the event extends its focus to include the crucial role of supporting the family members and caregivers of those individuals living with dementia.

This gathering is a unique opportunity to stay abreast of advancements in dementia care, fostering a community committed to enhancing the quality of life for seniors. Don't miss the chance to contribute to the ongoing dialogue shaping the future of elder care!
