By the time you have made your cup of tea, another person will have developed dementia.
At Jesmund Care, we understand that a diagnosis of dementia affects not only the person living with it, but also the family, friends and loved ones around them. As a care home supporting people living with dementia, we see every day the impact this journey can have on the families and friends of our residents, and how important compassion, understanding and support are for everyone involved.
That is why we are taking part in Time for a Cuppa and inviting our residents’ families and friends to join us for tea, cake and time together, while raising vital funds for Dementia UK, the specialist dementia nursing charity.
Every donation, no matter the size, can make a real difference. £21 could pay for the telephone costs of four families calling Dementia UK’s free Helpline whenever they need support. £33 could fund a dementia specialist Admiral Nurse to spend an hour helping a family in the community, offering practical advice and emotional support.
We would be truly grateful for any support you can give. Thank you for helping us come together to support families affected by dementia.
