Keeping busy, staying social

Keeping in touch with people and engaging in social activities, such as going to the theatre or cinema, or being part of a walking group or choir, is good for your confidence and mental wellbeing. If you have someone who helps care for you, an active social life is good for them, too. There are various local activities that are ‘dementia friendly’ including those at Ivy House where they are hoping to run a local Dementia Cafe.
