Hyllden Heights Launches Dementia-Friendly Dining Community Restaurant
We are delighted to announce that Hyllden Heights in Hildenborough, Kent, is launching their monthly initiative for people in the community today, with money raised from the £20 tickets set to go towards Brace Dementia Research.
Diners will be able to request modified food if they have difficulties with cutting, chewing, or swallowing, with adapted cutlery and drinkware available for “dignified dining”.
Laurie Thurlow, General Manager said: “As people’s cognition declines, they become isolated and excluded from communities, and it’s important that they’ve still got places to go. Their social lives are severely hampered because they’ve got nowhere to go where it’s a safe environment, where they can still enjoy the finer things of life.”
The care home, which has transformed its dining area into a restaurant, is expecting 22 guests at its launch.
A spokesperson said: “Going out for dinner gets very difficult when a loved one develops dementia because of behaviour changes, specialist dietary needs, or just confusion, which can all make eating in a restaurant a stressful rather than relaxing experience.”
