A series of workshops aimed to help carers of dementia patients have proved a great success.

Home Instead Senior Care, who provide at-home care, organised the workshops to enable people to identify the typical signs of dementia and to gain a better understanding of the condition.

Ann-Marie Roche, from Home Instead, said: “People enjoyed being able to share their experiences with others who were facing similar issues.”

Following their success, the workshops will now be run monthly.
