Would you like to know more?

Some support, advice and a few tips and tricks might help

Home Instead runs a monthly workshop specifically aimed at loved ones

During our workshops we cover topics including:

Why behaviour has changed – what is going on in the brain to cause:

  • Wandering and disturbed nights

  • Poor Nutrition and Hydration

  • Self-neglect

  • Lack of social graces

  • Aggression and Emotions

  • Loneliness and Isolation

As well as:

  • How using the ‘right’ language can make a difference to how cooperative they will be

  • Knowing what type of dementia your loved one has as it can explain a lot

  • How to pick your battles

  • When to get help and where to go to get it

Our free workshops are held once a month at our office in New Malden and are free to attend

For more information on when our next workshop is, please contact Clare Jefferies on 020 8942 4137 or clare.jefferies@homeinstead.co.uk

Places are limited so booking is essential
