The care team at Heather View care home on Beacon Road is helping to create a dementia-friendly community in Crowborough with local people invited to the latest in a series of dementia friends events.

The team at the care home is going to open its doors on Tuesday 22nd March and invite those in the local community to attend the session.  

An initiative from the Alzheimer’s Society, ‘dementia friends’ is the biggest ever programme designed to change public perceptions and encourage better understanding of what it means to live well with dementia.

Andrew Jarman, said: “I am very passionate about the role ‘dementia friends’ plays in promoting more positive attitudes to dementia. It is vital we talk openly about the condition, and it is also important that local communities are supportive of those living with dementia – as well as their loved ones and carers. We look forward to opening our doors to what promises to be an insightful and inspiring event for the local community.”

Situated in Crowborough, Heather View is a state-of-the-art care home designed to deliver the very best standards of care, and to enable residents to live active and fulfilled lives. The home offers a range of services including residential care, specialist dementia care and respite care.
