Knowing how much their residents living with dementia love to dance and sing, the activities team at Cookridge Court care home came up with the genius idea of a dementia-friendly rock ‘n’ roll cafe. The team is also inviting along relatives and loved ones, members of the local community and friends of the home to the homes dementia-friendly boogie.
General Manager, Karen Francis comments: “The Rock ‘n’ Roll Café will be a fantastic way to connect with others in a relaxed and supportive environment. We know the power of music brings joy and reminiscence for those living with dementia, their families and caregivers.
"Everyone is welcome - we’re really looking forward to making more friends in our local community. If anyone is unable to make it on the day but would like to pop in for a chat and a cup of tea, our doors are always open.”
