Coming up at Peer Support, we have Jenny Graham from Trafford's Memory Assessment Team joining us at Butler Court on Wednesday 2nd November.
Jenny is an Occupational Therapist and supports people with dementia to access equipment that will help a wide range of issues that can affect daily tasks and routine that most of us take for granted, including:
Chair raisers, grab rails etc to get in and out of bed / chair
Frames to aid walking
Long handled sponges, perching stools etc and walk in shower adaptations to help with personal care routines
Equipment that can assist with food preparation which can cause a variety of difficulties
Memory aids that can support with taking medication, switching the cooker off, taking your keys when you go out.
Jenny will be able to answer any questions about the role of the occupational therapist and how to access an assessment, as well as talk about the equipment that can be provided.
As always everyone is welcome to come along from 1:00 - 3:30 people with memory loss and their carers.
If you wish to speak to one of the dementia advisers, we are on 0161 746 3944 are happy to answer any questions. We will always get back to you if you leave a message.
