Dementia Hub providing specialist respite care
Our Dementia Hub team provides specialist and half-day respite care for people aged 50+ living with memory loss, confusion or dementia, all in a supportive, safe, friendly and home-from-home environment.
If you are caring for someone with dementia, please do remember that being able to take a break can also help you to give the best care that you can.
Our specialist team run a programme of activities and therapies to help improve quality of life helping to combat feelings of isolation, loneliness and depression. These include tea and coffee time, communication therapy, games, arts and music to name but a few.
Art therapy can help people living with memory loss to cope with the emotional impact of their illness as well as improving their quality of life, and in August we were able to offer a new art therapy class at the Dementia Hub – Arts 4 Dementia. This was thanks to Arts, Crafts and Heritage funding from the UK Shared Prosperity Fund.
In response to this new art therapy class, Councillor Clive Woodbridge
said:
“We want to have a positive impact on the lives of everyone in our community. This class is a great example of how inspirational art can be. Thanks to Creative Minds and the team and I look forward to seeing more classes rolled out throughout the year.”
