Care home to host Dementia Disco for residents and community
A CARE home will host a disco for residents with dementia.
Iverley View Care Home in Stourbridge will host the first Dementia Disco on Friday (May 23) at 2.30pm.
The initiative was created by the activities team at the care home, who noticed how much the residents enjoy dancing and singing.
The event will take place during Dementia Action Week.
Relatives, friends, and members of the community are invited to join the residents at the disco.
Amanda Morgan Bennett, general manager, said: "The Dementia Disco 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."
The home is operated by Barchester Healthcare, one of the UK's largest care providers.
It provides residential and dementia care for 55 residents, offering both respite breaks and long-term stays.
Anyone interested in attending the disco is asked to contact the care home on 01562 569350 or email to book a place.
