A new support group for people with dementia and their families is being launched by Alzheimer's Society on Thursday, 14th May.
The new Dementia Café will provide an opportunity for people with dementia and their carers to socialise and get much needed face to face support. Dementia Cafés provide a platform to talk openly about living with dementia within a relaxed and informal environment.
The Dementia Café will run on every second Thursday of the month between 11am and 1pm, at The Merlin on Wilmslow Road, Alderley Edge. This is a free service and everyone who has a dementia as well as their families and friends, are encouraged to come along.
Joy Alderson, Services Manager for Alzheimer's Society in Cheshire East said: "Alzheimer's Society's Dementia cafes can really help improve people's quality of life. They give people with the condition and their carers the opportunity to socialise with others in similar situations and receive vital support. They're also a great source of information and guidance which can help people to live well with the condition."
As well as Dementia Cafés, Alzheimer's Society in Cheshire East runs a number of services. For more information contact the Macclesfield office on 01625 503302 or visit alzheimers.org.uk/localinfo
