‘Don’t keep Dementia Under Your Hat’: Bridlington care home hosts special coffee morning

The theme of the event was ‘Don’t keep Dementia Under Your Hat’ in which Dementia Forward hosted events in and around Yorkshire to raise awareness and support for those living with dementia.

Residents and visitors to the event, wore their best and brightest hats with pride as they came together to enjoy a morning of good company, laughter and conversation, whilst enjoying a selection of sweet treats and refreshments.

The home cares for people living with dementia in its Memory Lane Communities – unique environments, designed to encourage active and enjoyable living.

The person-centred care provided in these communities can bring out the best in those who live there and offer much-needed quality care to the wider community.

Helen Nutton, operations manager, said: “It was such a privilege to celebrate Dementia Action Week and raise awareness about this disease which affects so many in the local community.”

The care will be opening its doors to the local community for an day of coffee and cakes on Saturday, June 20.

Taking place between 10am and 4pm, guests will be able to enjoy home-made cakes prepared by the home’s head chef, and will have the chance to meet the team and take a tour of the home.

Michelle Galttress, deputy manager at Mallard Court, said: “I’m excited about welcoming new visitors and existing friends of the home to our open day.

“Looking for care can be a little bit daunting, but our team here at Mallard Court will do all we can to provide all of our guests with the guidance and support they may need, and answer all of their questions, big or small.

“Our open day is a great chance to enjoy some delightful entertainment in a homely and friendly setting – hope to see you all there!”
