Is there anyone that can help us this Thursday?
We particularly need a male masseur to do shoulder or head massages for our men folk. It’s for 1 hour between 1.30-2.30 at Downey House in Royton. Please email [email protected] or call 07541 705009. Thanks

We've had a lovely time at Downey House this afternoon! Our carers appreciated the chance to connect & share experiences in our private room and their loved ones had a blast with singing, quizzes, bingo & learning some Cockney rhyming slang. #oldham #dementia #carers #royton #LivingWellWithDementia

Many members said they lost close friends or family after their diagnosis of dementia. While they may forget things, they can still feel lonely & abandoned. You don’t have to do much, take them out for a walk or sit and watch tv whilst their carer takes a much needed rest. #Oldham #Dementia #Carers

We had a great afternoon yesterday with the fabulous Katie (aka Fiddlestix) 🎻 She’s fantastically talented and her song choices went down a treat!

With #Halloween approaching we like to remind people to be considerate around people living with dementia.
Dark nights, costumes & loud noises can be very unsettling .
If you are a carer please consider printing one of these posters we have made.

Doing you weekly to do list?
Make sure you include some time just for YOU!
Self care is vital when you’re a carer so please ask for help from family and friends or look into care companies or respite for a short break.
