Helped a dementia person lost on VE Day back to his family by Theresa Meau

I am going to encourage my parents; neighbours in my flat complex; and, colleagues in the work place to become a Dementia Friend. As a community carer I stay in touch with ladies and gents who I know are living with Dementia and will continue to strive to support and care for them in a way that respects their dignity and life choices, thereby enabling them to live a fulfilling and happy life as much as possible. To continue to look out for two neighbours who are living with Dementia and offer support (e.g. provide companionship; go to the shops with them and do the shopping together). In supermarkets especially at checkouts have patience as you don't know if the person in front or beside you is living with a form of Dementia and how far they are in their own unique journey. Lastly, once COVID-19 restrictions are eased and I join the Trefoil Guild offer to deliver a talk that encourages change in how people see Dementia (challenge perceptions and stigmas) and suggest that we have a fundraising evening for Alzhimer's Society UK. by Yvonne Tough
