Community Engagement at Pear Tree House

Jo, General Manager of Pear Tree House seized the opportunity to attend the Dementia Lounge coffee morning held at the Trinity House Wellbeing Centre. These gatherings, occurring every month, aim to provide support for individuals living with dementia and their caregivers. This particular session was especially enriching as it coincided with Nutrition & Hydration week.

The coffee morning featured various visiting companies showcasing their products, aligning with the theme of promoting health and well-being. Attendees engaged in activities, participated in a raffle, and enjoyed refreshments, all while fostering a sense of community and support.

One highlight of the event was the Easter decorations, adding a festive touch to the gathering. Jo, the General Manager, enthusiastically participated in these activities, contributing to the lively atmosphere and spreading joy among attendees.

During the event, Jo had the pleasure of speaking with a lovely lady living with dementia who has a passion for arts and crafts. There was discussion about the possibility of her joining Pear Tree House to engage in voluntary activities with the residents, potentially bringing new opportunities for creativity and connection.

Overall, the coffee morning proved to be a wonderful occasion for networking, sharing experiences, and building relationships within the community. It was a testament to the commitment of Pear Tree House to actively engage with and support individuals living with dementia and their caregivers.
