Walfinch Home Care Chiswick, Hammersmith and Kensington provide Dementia inspiration and education

Walfinch home care Chiswick, Hammersmith and Kensington has provided dementia inspiration and education through a special event about brain health and wellbeing for Dementia.

The heartwarming story of Gladys Wilson, a ballerina with Alzheimer’s who found joy in mimicking dance movements, has inspired people in West London to do more for people with Dementia, thanks to Tanya Santos and Magda Chmielewska from Walfinch home care Chiswick, Hammersmith and Kensington.

Magda, who works with Tanya as the registered care manager, also provided information on brain health and Dementia prevention, plus practical tips and strategies to support families and people living with Dementia.

“She shared personal experiences and stories from her life as a carer, to provide a deeper understanding of the challenges faced by people living with Dementia and their loved ones. Her passion and dedication to promoting brain health and supporting people with Dementia shone through every word,” says Tanya.

Tanya adds:

There were also chances to try Relish products designed especially for people with Dementia such as puzzles, games, and reminder clocks, and jelly drops, sweet treats containing electrolytes and vitamins designed to counter dehydration.

Walfinch Chiswick, Hammersmith and Fulham also host a Memory Café every third Tuesday of the month in Elgin Close Resource Centre, off Goldhawk Rd, as part of an initiative from Peggy Coles of the Dementia Action Alliance and LBHF to provide Dementia and Alzheimer’s support to people in the Hammersmith and Fulham borough.
