Many people supporting someone with dementia don't consider themselves to be carers. 💭

However, registering as a carer with your GP will enable them to support you in your caring role. The support offered by your GP practice will vary, but here are some of the things it may include:

🕐 Flexibility when booking doctor’s appointments, like booking back-to-back appointments if both you and the person you care for need to see the GP

💙 Support with your physical and mental health to enable you to carry out your caring responsibilities

🏥 Free annual health checks

🚚 Having prescriptions delivered to your home

This International Day of Care and Support, share this post to help spread awareness!

At Oak Mount Care Home we are all very excited for Ringwood Carnival this weekend, and we will of course be in attendance. We always try and support local events wherever we can, and we are glad to, once again, sponsor one of the events of the year. We look forward to seeing you there!

We are so excited to welcome the talented Amelia to perform at our dementia support group on Tuesday 30th September.
Come along to this extra meeting this month and enjoy the wonderful voice of Amelia - a London-based vocalist with a deep love for the timeless sounds of the 70s.

WE PROMISE YOU ARE IN FOR A GREAT TREAT!

Inspired by the era’s rich melodies and heartfelt lyrics, she brings her own personal touch to a wide variety of songs, from the classics of The Beatles to the country charm of Dolly Parton. With a soulful voice and a passion for connecting through music, Amelia creates performances that feel both nostalgic and fresh.

Come along and enjoy an uplifting morning of song, stories, and timeless favourites. FREE to anyone living with dementia and their carers. Care home residents more than welcome. We meet at The Victoria Rooms in Fordingbridge at 10.30am until midday.

Our FREE Music for Memories sessions really do make a difference for people living with dementia. Our musician was turning up and starting humming an intro. Before we knew it a lovely chap with dementia was belting out the tune and remembering all the words! What a difference a couple of hours one Tuesday a month can make to people affected by dementia. Our next session is Tuesday 26th August at The Victoria Rooms in Fordingbridge 10.30am until 12.30pm.

A couple of new windows fitted at Oak Mount this week, completed by local firm Forest Garage Doors & Windows. We always try and use Ringwood based companies where possible, and these guys make it very easy as their work is always top quality at an excellent price.

We are fluttering back into Fordingbridge this month on Tuesday 12th August for our pop-up cafe for those living with dementia. FREE cuppa, conversation and live music.
Why not spread your wings and come and join us?

Can you spare just a couple of hours a month to help our small charity support those living with dementia? We need people to help do the following:
- Lay out tables and chairs and pack away again at our Butterfly Cafe and Music for Memories sessions
- Make teas and coffees and wash up
- Chat to our visitors
- Run our raffle
We are a friendly, small charity and would love the support of more people to carry on the valuable work we do for those living with dementia and their carers. Just a couple of hours a month really can make a difference.

At Oak Mount Care Home we always try and support events and charities that are based in and around the Ringwood area. Although we have recently moved more towards helping local dementia charities such as Making Memories Matter and Avon Valley Dementia Support, we will continue to support events where we can. I am a born and bred Ringwood-ian, so I know how important Ringwood Carnival is to the town and I attend every year, with my children being in the procession most years. We have sponsored the carnival for many years and are happy to do so again this year, as we know how important business support is to the event. See you there in September!

This week Josie, our lovely Activities Co-ordinator shown in the photo, has started our "Residents Gardening Club". Earlier in the week Danny The Handyman and I built some raised planters, to allow easy access for the residents. By all accounts everybody had a lot of fun planting and the results are there for everybody to see, we really are "Ringwood in Bloom"

Danny and I managed to build the raised planters this afternoon, ready for the inaugural “Oak Mount Residents Gardening Club” later in the week with Josie, who is our Activities Co-ordinator. By the way Josie, we are starting a Gardening Club! For those wondering, Danny has been our Handyman at Oak Mount for even longer than I’ve worked there, and isn’t one of the residents, yet!
