Candlewood House Care Home invites you to their monthly Dementia Cafe!

Candlewood House Care Home, based in North London hosts a monthly Dementia Café which is open to everyone in the wider community and is particularly suitable for those living with dementia or for those who are supporting loved ones living with dementia.

The Dementia Café is a free event and runs every second Tuesday of each month, 2.30pm-4pm. It offers an opportunity to relax in a friendly, caring environment and discuss concerns with professionals and experts. The aim is for this to be an hour of support where you can share experiences all with complimentary refreshments.

Johan De Beer, Business Development Manager at Candlewood House said “I am passionate about our Dementia Cafe at Candlewood House. We are always looking at the best ways in which we can support our community. As a care home that specialises in Dementia Care, it is important we engage with the local community, whether they want to attend the event for some support or want to learn more about life at our home, whether for themselves or a loved one”

As a result of their person-centred approach to dementia care, Candlewood House creates an environment that stimulates cognitive abilities while getting to know its residents. Colour, design, and objects in the retrospective rooms and sensory areas evoke cherished memories. Each resident’s interests and passions are embraced by the dedicated well-being teams through daily stimulating activities.

Subin Puthan Veettil, Home Manager at Candlewood House commented “Our Dementia care has a focus on building personal relationships that enable independence and creativity. Our Dementia Café provides insight into how our teams operate daily to ensure we provide expert care to those living with dementia.”
