A care home in Copthorne is inviting the local community to a free, virtual event for families caring for loved ones living with dementia.

On Thursday 20th May, from 2pm-3.30pm, Care UK’s Francis Court, on Borers Arms Road, will be hosting a virtual Understanding Dementia event.

There will also be support and practical advice on what dementia is and how memories are lost, as well as useful tips on how to overcome communication barriers and discover positive approaches to living with the condition.

Anna Allen, Home Manager at Francis Court, said: “We know that it can be challenging to look after a friend or relative living with dementia. It’s natural to feel confused about the best way to help your loved one, so our event aims to offer professional knowledge and insight to those who need it – as well as providing a hub for shared experiences. 

“We want people to know they’re not alone, and we’re here to offer support. This event has proven popular in the past and we’re looking forward to welcoming local people virtually for an inspiring afternoon of information and guidance.”

For anyone unsure about how to take part in the virtual event, help is at hand. The team at Francis Court will host the joint event using Zoom, which is very easy to use. Simply call or email, Customer Relations Manager, Beverly Jordan, and she will send a link to join the event and share her tips to make the most out of the session.

Francis Court has been designed to enable residents to live active and fulfilled lives, while also promoting independence, and incorporates space for hobby and leisure activities. The layout of the building is configured into a series of individual suites, each having a dedicated lounge/dining room to help facilitate the creation of close-knit communities. The team provides full-time residential, dementia and nursing care.
