On Thursday 23rd May, from 2pm-4pm, Care UK’s Llys Herbert, on Ty-Draw Road, is inviting members of the community to a special event to understand the differences between aging and dementia.
Aiming to raise awareness about the condition, ‘Typical signs of ageing or dementia? – recognising and responding to the symptoms’, will provide an overview of normal ageing and how symptoms differ from dementia.
Led by Care UK dementia specialist, Linda Dawes, the event will also explore the signs of dementia, as well as the differences between the three most common types of the condition.
Therisa Galazka, Home Manager at Llys Herbert, said: “These sessions have proved incredibly popular in the past, so we’re delighted to be welcoming Linda Dawes to share her expertise with the community.
“We will explore the differences between normal ageing and how these compare to signs of something more serious, with the opportunity for people to chat to Linda and the team here at Llys Herbert, who have extensive experience caring for those living with dementia.
“We’re looking forward to welcoming Linda for what we anticipate will be an incredibly helpful afternoon.”
