Leanne and Michelle from the Green House Surgery recently attended the Dementia Action Teesside celebration event where businesses and community organisations across Redcar and Cleveland came together to celebrate the huge efforts that have been made to support patients living with dementia. They listened to individuals who spoke passionately about family members living with dementia and what the dementia friendly community means to them.
To end the morning everyone danced and sang with those living with dementia and their families and carers, who really showed what 'living well with dementia' really looks like.
The Mayor of Redcar and Cleveland presented Leanne and Michelle with a certificate stating The Green House Surgery is a Dementia Friendly organisation.
The Surgery has learnt more about dementia by ensuring all staff have received dementia friends training. We have also carried out risk assessments and made relevant changes to provide a dementia friendly environment for our patients.
