Choosing the right care home can feel like a very overwhelming task. How do I know we’ll get the best care possible? Will I feel supported? What is the food like? Will there be the right kind of activities? Do people in care homes make friends? Will it be safe?
All of these questions and more may be running through your head so let’s have a closer look at how you can be sure you chose the right care home. Read on for our care home Q&A. Join us on Friday 1st March for another fantastic quiz night!
Email info@alzheimercafeiow.org.uk and book now to avoid disappointment - we always fill up fast! *All proceeds go to Alzheimer Café Isle of Wight* We’ve made some fantastic progress at Parklands over the past 6 weeks. Thanks to a wonderful group of volunteers who have been working tirelessly to get Parklands ready for our grand opening, the place has really started to take shape. A lot of time has been taken up with clearing rooms, stripping wallpaper, and knocking down walls but we’re now at a really good point now to start the big makeover!
Seeing Parklands begin to change from an empty old building into a place we know will make such a huge difference to the community is incredibly exciting and although there’s still a long way to go, we can really see things beginning to take shape. We’d like to thank our volunteers again for the time, effort, and dedication they are giving to this project. We couldn’t do it without you! Some photos of our progress below - as you can see, rooms are cleared, we have some flooring down in the café area, we've made space for accessible toilets, our gym is ready to be stripped before we put the equipment in, and our wellbeing rooms are ready for a makeover! We'll keep you updated with out progress! Hello everyone! We hope you are having a fantastic 2024 so far! We've been working hard at Parklands over the Christmas period and we're excited to share lots of updates soon! We've also added more information to the website to make it as useful as possible for you. You can now view the whole year ahead for each café including dates and presentation topics. We've added the schedules to each area in the 'Cafés Near You' section, and also in the 'What's On' section. If you'd like to download and print the schedules, here they are in PDF form! Simple click the file below, download it, and print! *Please note, café topics can occasionally change!
