At Beritaz Care, we are passionate about raising awareness of dementia and are always looking for ways we can do our part to provide information and support to those impacted by the disease.
Conversation around the topic of dementia and Alzheimer’s is so important to help educate families in how to best support their loved ones struggling with the condition. Within our homes, we see firsthand the impact dementia has on our residents and their families, and we want to do everything we can to make life easier for them. From adapting our facilities, care, and activities to better accommodate residents with dementia, to hosting expert-led training and Q&A sessions for relatives, we are always looking for ways we can enhance our own care services to better support those impacted by dementia.
Working within the care industry means this is a topic very close to the hearts of everyone at Beritaz Care, and we are keen to do our part to show our support both inside and outside of our homes. We are long-term supporters of the Alzheimer's Society , who offer education and tools to help families learn how to support someone with dementia to live their life to the fullest, as well as funding their own dementia research projects. Recently, staff members from Ashton Manor Care Home completed a 13-mile trek around London in aid of the Alzheimer’s Society. Thanks to the support of our community and the tireless efforts of the team in fundraising, they were able to smash their target and raise over £2,300 for the Alzheimer’s Society.
This week is Dementia Action Week, an annual campaign aimed at raising awareness and understanding of Alzheimer’s and dementia. This year, the Alzheimer’s Society are encouraging everyone to join their Forget Me Not Appeal and honour the stories of those they wear their Forget Me Not badge for. “Behind each Forget Me Not badge, there are stories of lives devastated by dementia and when we all wear the badge together, it becomes a movement of hope, action and unity.”
Within our homes, we regularly see the challenges faced by those affected by dementia, and we are passionate about finding the best ways to support our residents who are impacted by dementia or Alzheimer’s. Join us in showing support for Dementia Action Week 2026 and encouraging conversations around this condition.
