Somerford ARC Community Centre ADaPt Cafe
Our ADaPt Café is a weekly group for people living with Dementia, Parkinson’s, Alzheimer’s, and their amazing carers.
Monthly Musical exercise class improves mobility of joints, strengthen muscles, and enhances mood and frequent crafting sessions allowing users to express themselves.
Those living with dementia can still experience sensation, relaxation, and reminiscence, we have recently added a magic table, and its games are specifically designed to stimulate all these three areas.
Carers can feel emotionally isolated, and actively ignored at worst and may feel that people around them, can no longer listen to yet another account of the life they are now leading. We have an onsite counsellor available during sessions to help move them from surviving, depression, anxiety, and feelings of hopelessness to the emerging possibilities of coping and regaining some sense of perspective, renewed self-awareness and self-care, and the return of some measure of control.
