LIFE AT THE DEVONSHIRE - DEMENTIA ACTION WEEK 2023

Management team at Alzheimer's Society Conference

ALZHEIMER’S SOCIETY CONFERENCE

“Setting diagnosis right for now & in the future” 

On May 18th, our Director, Care Manager & Development Coordinator reconnected with Alzheimer’s UK after 3 years of Covid in support of Dementia Action Week. We have re-established a fundraising commitment to find a cure, gained powerful insight into how diagnosis rates improve, and shared our passion to raise awareness to improve the daily lives of people living with dementia and their loved ones.

DEMENTIA ACTION WEEK

We transformed our regular FREE Singing Group & Coffee Morning into a one-off event, singing away with our Residents before hosting an extra special Afternoon Tea in our Lyons Tea Room. We’d like to thank everyone who was able to attend!

Residents and members of the community joined us as we revelled in a quite wonderful afternoon tea & enjoyed a sweet and savoury selection.
