It has been found that many people are concerned with saying the wrong thing to someone living with dementia.
This Dementia Action Week is all about encouraging everyone to take action by starting a conversation with someone living with dementia they know. Two-thirds of people living with dementia report feeling lonely and isolated.

On Wednesday afternoon, the whole Southampton team will be celebrating the life of Mandy. We will be having a BBQ manned by Bluebird Care Southampton directors, Bernadette and Hugo.
Mandy was one of our care assistants and an incredibly valued member of our team. She passed away doing what she loved best; caring for others. Mandy was a part of the Bluebird team for two years and was widely known for her infectious laugh, her fun dance moves and her selflessness. We hope that Mandy is at peace and we can throw a celebration she would have loved!

A new type of dementia has been identified and is being called LATE.
LATE has previously been confused with Alzheimer’s due to the protein that mimics symptoms seen in people with Alzheimer’s. LATE is thought to affect around 20% of over 80s and it is possible to have both Alzheimer’s and LATE.
This new discovery may explain why recent medical trials for Alzheimer’s treatments haven’t worked.
... If you have a loved one who has dementia and need some extra support, contact our friendly teams to see how we can help you. Our offices can be contacted on 02380 018221 or on southampton@bluebirdcare.co.uk.
