Manor Park Care Home is preparing to host a series of events to mark Dementia Action Week, bringing together residents, carers and the wider community for a programme focused on support, connection and understanding.
Running from May 18 to 24, the initiative will see the home open its doors for a range of dementia-focused activities aimed at enriching the lives of those living with the condition while offering practical guidance to families and carers.
Located on Town Street in Old Malton, Manor Park Care Home is part of the Sandstone Care Group and provides specialist residential, nursing and dementia care. The home has built a reputation for delivering person-centred support in a comfortable, community-led environment, with a strong emphasis on wellbeing and quality of life.
Dementia Action Week is a national awareness campaign designed to encourage people to take action to improve the lives of those affected by dementia. At Manor Park, the focus will be on creating meaningful experiences for residents while also equipping visitors with a better understanding of the condition.
The week-long programme will include interactive sessions, opportunities to meet care professionals and activities designed to stimulate memory, engagement and social interaction. Organisers say the events are intended not only to support residents but also to provide reassurance and advice to those caring for loved ones at home.
Staff at the home are encouraging members of the local community to attend, whether they are directly affected by dementia or simply want to learn more. By opening up conversations and sharing expertise, the team hopes to break down stigma and foster a more dementia-friendly community.
Manor Park’s approach reflects a broader commitment across the Sandstone Care Group to provide compassionate, specialist care tailored to individual needs. Alongside its clinical support, the home places importance on creating a warm, inclusive atmosphere where residents can continue to lead fulfilling lives.
With dementia affecting a growing number of families across the UK, initiatives like Dementia Action Week play a vital role in raising awareness and building stronger support networks. At Manor Park, the message is clear: through understanding, community and care, people living with dementia can continue to feel valued, supported and connected.
