Here at Hollybank we aim to offer the very best of care to both our patients and their owners.

We are always looking at ways to help us do that and a few weeks ago we spent the afternoon participating in a Dementia Friends session.

We all joined in to learn more about dementia and how it affects those living with it daily.  It gave us the opportunity to improve our skills in the way we communicate with people living with dementia and the practical actions we can take to help that can make all the difference.

We very much hope that following our session and with a greater understanding of how we can help we will be able to offer the very best of care to those affected.

If you’d like to learn more too, you can find lots of helpful information on the Dementia Friends website.
