Care UK’s Cranford Grange, in Knutsford, and Long Stone Manor, in Wilmslow, will be holding special sessions as part of The Big Dementia Conversation – a nationwide initiative designed to show people how to better understand common symptoms and how it is possible to live well with the condition.  

To help address these challenges, Care UK has launched The Big Dementia Conversation for the third year running, encouraging practical support and greater understanding for families and communities.

The Staying Connected: a Guide to Dementia-Friendly Conversation’ session at Long Stone Manor on Tuesday 10th March at 2pm-4pm will be led by dementia expert Susan Ashcroft. The event will explore practical ways to communicate more effectively with people living with dementia, while offering simple strategies to stay connected, reduce frustration and create more meaningful moments in everyday life.

In addition to the events, the community can explore a newly launched online advice hub, which features in-depth conversations with families of people living with dementia alongside expert advice from Care UK’s specialists. They can also obtain a free guide packed with practical tips and designed to help relatives overcome communication barriers and interact more easily and confidently with loved ones living with the condition.

Cranford Grange and Long Stone Manor have been designed to deliver the very best standards of care and enable residents to lead active and fulfilled lives, while also promoting independence. The homes have been configured into a series of neighbourhoods to facilitate the creation of close-knit communities and encourage social interaction among the residents. There is also plenty of space – both indoors and out – for relaxation and recreation.
