CARE HOME RAISES £200 FOR CHARITY

A Kings Lynn care home has managed to raise £200 for the Alzheimers Society as part of Alzheimers Awareness Week.
 
Amberley Hall care home organised and held a seminar to encourage people to understand more about Alzheimers and Dementia and how to deal with people living with the two conditions.
 
The care home has recently launched a new initiative to stimulate communication among the elderly and people living with dementia called ‘Let’s Get Talking’.
 
The initiative suggests a different topic of conversation for everyday of the year. The topics are designed to help spark memories and create a feeling of well being amongst residents as they discuss familiar and reassuring topics with other residents, family members, visitors and the Hallmark Healthcare care team.
 
This week Anne Biggar from The Alzheimers Society came to collect the cheque from Hallmark Healthcare from the money raised during the day.
