Yarra Ranges Council arranged a coffee catch up event to help residents who have questions about finding support for living with dementia, as it is Dementia Action Week from 18 to 24 September.
The event is a part of the Dementia Friendly Yarra Ranges project for 2023 to 2027, which aims to shape a truly dementia-friendly Yarra Ranges.
“The project has been funded through a Yarra Ranges Council Partnership Grant, and Council officers will work closely with Caladenia Dementia Care to make the Yarra Ranges a more accessible, well-resourced and easy-to-navigate community for people living with dementia and their carers,” Yarra Ranges Council’s communities director Jane Price said.
“This project commenced in July 2023 and community education workshops will be delivered from February 2024.”
Caladenia Dementia Care and Villa Maria Catholic Homes (VMCH) will host the event providing advice with coffee and tea.
The hosts will provide advice on where and how to find support for living with dementia.
The two-hour event will start at 10.30am on Thursday 21 September at Warrien Reserve 18-52 Warrien Rd, Croydon North.
