At Laurel Court, beautiful shared spaces, well-provisioned private rooms and an attractive location combine to make an ideal home for individuals who are looking not just for residential or nursing support but also for the kind of person-centred care that makes them feel valued and respected. This purpose-built home, with 86 places, is set in a residential area in Didsbury, Manchester. Laurel Cour

t’s fine location is close to local amenities including shops, a Post Office and a church. It is also less than five miles from the thriving centre of Manchester. There are several communal lounges and dining rooms, as well as an activities room and hair salon. The extensive, well-kept gardens are a pleasant place for residents to relax and get to know each other, and many bedrooms overlook this beautiful green space.

As part of Dementia Action Week, we’re looking at the importance of connection and community.

Living with dementia doesn’t mean facing it alone.

Dementia cafés, support groups and community events offer a safe and welcoming space for people living with dementia and their families to connect, share experiences and find support.

Care homes also play an important role, providing not just care and support, but a sense of community, routine and belonging.

If you or someone you know is affected by dementia, reaching out can make a real difference. You can find more information at https://mha.org.uk/care-support/types-care-support/dementia-care

As part of Dementia Action Week, we’re highlighting simple ways to support someone living with dementia.

Supporting someone with dementia isn’t about having all the answers, it’s about patience, understanding and compassion. Here are a few simple ways to help:

Enter their world - If they’re confused, try not to correct or argue. Instead, respond to how they feel in that moment.

Listen beyond words - body language, tone and emotion often say more than words ever could.

Use simple, calm communication - Short sentences and a gentle tone can make conversations easier and less overwhelming.

Be patient — What may seem small to us can feel very real and important to them.

Dementia affects not just memory, but how a person experiences the world. A little understanding can make a big difference.

Share this with someone who may find it helpful.

As part of Dementia Action Week, we’re sharing a week of resources, guidance and real-life stories about dementia.

Dementia isn’t a single illness; it’s a term used to describe a group of conditions that affect the brain.

It can impact memory, thinking, distressed response and the ability to carry out everyday tasks. For many people, it also changes how they experience and understand the world around them.

Dementia is progressive, which means symptoms can gradually worsen over time. But with the right care, support and understanding, people living with dementia can live meaningful and fulfilling lives.

Let’s continue to raise awareness, reduce stigma and support those living with dementia. Share to help others understand dementia better.
