Home offers dementia advice with new community sessions

A SOLIHULL care home offering specialist dementia, nursing and residential care has launched monthly support sessions offering advice and guidance for families with a loved one living with dementia in its home and the wider community.

Blythe Rose, a state-of-the-art dementia home in Blythe Valley Park, is one of the newest additions to the Macc Care group, and recently opened its dementia support sessions to the community.

Occurring on the first Monday of every month, the event is an intimate but informal get together offering support, understanding and community for those affected by dementia in their family.

David Rees-Jones, a dementia support worker from the Alzheimer’s Society, also attended to speak with the group about Dementia Connect – a new personalised support service
