DEMENTIA CARE IN A VIRTUAL WORLD

The outbreak of Covid-19 changed the way we live, work and socialise. This is more difficult for people living with dementia and those who care for them. Due to the lockdown, our organisation has been conducting virtual home visits to connect and support people living with dementia, their carers and family members. To join us on any of our visits, contact us via events@decew.co.uk. You can also support our work by making a small donation to the organisation through events@decew.co.uk or click on the Pay Now tab on this page. We appreciate your support.

YOUR DONATION SUPPORTS OUR WORK IN CREATING MORE AWARENESS OF DEMENTIA

You can help us organise events and support our projects by donating using the PayPal account of Dementia Care Experience and Workshops (CIC), events@decew.co.uk or through the Pay Pal link.

Thank you and we look forward to seeing you at our events.

COVID-19 UPDATE

Covid-19 has altered our way of life and work, and no one knows how long this will continue. Dementia Care Experience and Workshops will continue to support people living with dementia, as well as their caregivers and family members. Although we are not currently visiting people in their homes, care homes, day centres, or hospitals, we are providing support through other means, such as webinars. We develop interactive games and activities, as well as hold video calls with caregivers and family members.

We understand that people are concerned about Covid-19 and what it means for those living with dementia, because we know that people living with the condition are already isolated and lonely. As a result, we have increased our efforts to ensure that people are not isolated at this critical time. As things settle down, we hope to continue to collaborate with other organisations, agencies, and care providers to provide support for families and their loved ones living with dementia through workshops and community outreach programmes.

All updates are made in accordance with government regulations. Visit the official UK government website for data and insights on coronavirus (Covid-19)

Feedback

I feel organisations such as yours will greatly improve societal understanding of dementia especially in the BAME communities. Thank you for your work.
– Akim (Northern Ireland)

I have to say, looking back to the struggles we went through taking care of my late grandmother, organisations such as yours would have put it into perspective what it is like to care for someone you love who lived with dementia but the family were not aware of this at the time. May God bless your efforts and your vision.
– Jasmine (SW London)

I cannot express highly enough how glad I am to see what you and your organisation is trying to do. Africa and particularly the West would benefit from organisation such as yours and I truly believe that so many families and even other dementia care originations and service providers will benefit immensely from the vision you are putting out. The British are lucky. I must say, well done and please do keep up the good work and I hope one day this vision will also happen in Africa.

– Bimbola (Ogun State, Nigeria)

Congratulation to you and your team on a wonderful vision. Well done.

– Big Joe (South London, UK)

This is wonderful. May God guide your work.

I have to say, your workshops on caring for carers has been an eye-opener. Caring for my wife who has dementia has been a big challenge, not just for me but for my entire family. What I have learnt from your workshops, has already made a positive impact on my health. I now know when to stop and take a break and I also now know how to deal with her behaviours which can be challenging some times. So thank you so much and keep up the good work.

– Mr P Mohamed (Ealing, UK)

I cannot speak highly enough of your organisation and the work you are doing so far. Your workshops on stress reduction techniques have been remarkable. I can now control my stress levels and I have learnt to be in control of my emotions as I care for my mum who has Alzheimer’s.

– Ms Janet (Hounslow, UK)

A huge thank you to dementia care experience and workshops, and the founders for this wonderful initiative and for having this vision to promote the awareness of dementia especially in our community, the black and minority ethnic group.

– Alhaj Dinpa (London)

I believe dementia care experience and workshops is such a great addition to the drive to educate our people about dementia. I have heard about dementia in the past but I was not very clear about the disease and have so little to say about it. However, through your organisation, and what I have read and seen about your aim of launching dementia care experience and workshops, I am beginning to understand more about this illness that some of our people do not often want to talk about.
