I provide much needed relief and respite for family members of people that have dementia or chronic ill health. When family members are looking after people at home 24/7 they begin to suffer from carers strain and start to become stressed and exhausted. They also lose their own independence and are unable to have any social life or enjoy their own hobbies and interests. I take my clients to local support groups and activities, appointments and out on trips in the community to help improve their quality of life and promote social inclusion. I also deliver personal care so that family members don't have to do this. I've booked onto two training sessions to be able to deliver 'circle dance for dementia' sessions in my local community, and to teach 'validation therapy' to family members of people with dementia to enable them to cope with the complexities that dementia brings. I will be setting up a 'circle dance for dementia' session somewhere in my local community as soon as I've had the training.
