Services – Dementia Care Experience & Workshops

Services

Our workshops aim to provide the best possible support and advice to people living with dementia and those caring for them, particularly those from the Black and Minority Ethnic (BME) communities. Caring for someone with dementia can be stressful and difficult, and our organisation hopes to highlight those difficulties while also highlighting the various creative activities in dementia and the overall benefits of a holistic approach to dementia care. As a result, in our workshops, we aim to raise awareness of dementia care through activities such as, but not limited to:

Workshops on dementia care and management
Virtual tour of health care facilities
School visits to educate young people about dementia
Home visits for an independent review of care plans
Personalised home and outdoor care, focusing on dementia-friendly environments
Creative activities such as drumming, music, craft, games (puzzles and domino) and painting
Independent specialist occupational therapy advice
Mental health advice and support
Support to access health care services, attend GP and other social care appointments
Organise day trips and support groups in day centres

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.

– Alasine, (Freetown, Sierra Leone)

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.
