- **Event Start and End Date**: Tue, 14 Jan, 2025 at 04:00 pm – Tue, 14 Jan, 2025 at 05:00 pm
- **Event Description**: As part of a nationwide initiative a care home in Orpington is inviting local people to its free dementia advice event.  On Tuesday 14th December from 4pm till 5pm Care UK’s Foxbridge House on Sevenoaks Road is inviting members of the community for a special event as part of The Big Dementia Conversation a nationwide initiative designed to show people how to better understand common symptoms and live well with the condition.    While general awareness of the condition has improved data from Care UK shows two-thirds of people who have a relative living with dementia (62%) initially put their symptoms down to old age. Many Brits remain unaware of the ways older people can lead meaningful lives with the condition prompting Care UK to relaunch its Big Dementia Conversation for the second year running.   The Dementia Awareness Evening session at Foxbridge House will be led by Georgina Marshall Dementia Care Coach at the home and she will shine a light on some aspects of dementia that are often overlooked as well as how to support people living with the condition. Complimentary refreshments will also be available and the event will provide an opportunity for carers and the loved ones of people living with dementia to meet others share their experiences and seek advice. In addition to the event the Orpington community can also visit a newly launched online advice hub. The hub includes in-depth conversations with families of people living with dementia as well as expert advice from Care UK’s dementia specialists to learn how to reduce the risks and symptoms of the condition.    Stella Barnes Home Manager at Foxbridge House said: “When an older relative starts acting out of character or forgetting things it can be a worrying time for family members.   “Most people cannot confidently differentiate between signs of old age and symptoms of dementia – nor can they picture leading a meaningful life once diagnosed. We want to change this which is why we’re thrilled to be taking part in the Big Dementia Conversation once again by hosting our own free advice event.   “We’d like to encourage the local community to join us; together we can build a more dementia-friendly Orpington.” For more information about Foxbridge House please call Customer Relations Manager Dorothy Ayonmike on 01689 769 229 or email dorothy.ayonmike@careuk.com. To support people who may be experiencing symptoms of dementia or their loved ones Care UK has set up a free helpline and advice hub.
