Cakes, information, and support at Mossdale's dementia coffee morning
A York care home hosted a coffee morning for residents living with dementia, their family members, and the wider community recently.
Mossdale Residence Care Home, in Burnholme, offered homemade cakes and refreshments; leaflets and guidance from organisations; and friendly, one-to-one chats with care team members.
Attendees were able to share their dementia experiences, connect with others, and learn more about the condition.
Julie Banks, Mossdale home manager, said: "Dementia affects not just individuals, but families and loved ones too, and events like this help build a strong network of support, understanding, and compassion.
"We're proud to be part of a care group that champions awareness and education."
Dementia coffee mornings are held on the fourth Thursday of each month at three HC-One care homes in York: Mossdale, Handley House, and Ebor Court.
The venue alternates between the three homes each month.
The next event will take place on Thursday, July 24, at Handley House, in Clifton, from 10am to 12pm.
