HC-One’s Mossdale Residence Care Home in Burnholme, York, proudly hosted a Dementia Support Coffee Morning and Social Event in support of the Alzheimer’s Society, welcoming residents, family members, and the wider community to join in a meaningful day of support, understanding, and togetherness.
Held in the home’s spacious communal lounge, the event provided a safe and friendly environment where people could share their experiences of dementia, connect with others, and learn more about the condition and the resources available for those affected by it.
The morning featured a variety of activities designed to foster connection and engagement, including:
- A selection of homemade cakes and refreshments, lovingly prepared by the Mossdale catering team.
- Information stands offering leaflets and guidance from local and national dementia support organisations.
- Friendly one-to-one chats with members of the Mossdale care team, who shared advice and insights into dementia care practices.
- A warm and inclusive atmosphere, designed to put attendees at ease and encourage open conversations about a condition that affects millions across the UK.
Visitors also had the chance to learn about the specialist dementia care provided at Mossdale Residence, and how the home creates a supportive, stimulating environment for those living with memory loss and cognitive decline.
Julie Banks, Home Manager at HC-One’s Mossdale Residence Care Home, said:
“We were delighted by the incredible turnout and support from our local community.
