Dementia Day Centre launches at Tallington Lodge Care Home

Award-winning Devika Care Company is launching a new Dementia Day Centre at Tallington Lodge Care Home in Tallington, near Stamford. The first session will be on Monday 17th February 2025 from 10am until 3pm. It will then be held weekly on every Monday thereafter.

The Devika Dementia Day Centre, named after founder Caroline Ignatius’s mum, Devika, who has lived with dementia for several years, specialises in providing meaningful activities and opportunities for friendship and companionship for those living with dementia.

Caroline, passionate about dementia care, is dedicated to supporting others who may also be caring for loved ones at home. These sessions, now held regularly across several Country Court group homes, have gone from strength to strength.

The Day Centre offers weekly activity sessions for people living with mid to late-stage dementia, providing not only a way to form new friendships and enjoy a renewed sense of purpose but also much-needed respite for their carers.

Violeta Latviene, the Home Manager, commented on the launch: “The Devika Care Company provide a much-needed service for those living with dementia in Tallington and the surrounding area. The Day Centre promotes inclusion and community engagement that is not only meaningful but important, to support wellbeing and dementia awareness in our local area. Tallington Lodge is delighted to host Caroline and her team.”

Morgan Hicks, Senior Customer Relations Manager who helped to arrange the sessions, said: “We are really pleased to welcome Caroline and The Devika Day Centre to Tallington Lodge. It is a wonderful opportunity to support the local community and showcase our beautiful home and wonderful staff.”

Caroline Ignatius commented on the new day centre at Tallington Lodge: “The sessions will be hosted on the first floor in the Railway Inn pub, where people have access to all the facilities they require with a light lunch and refreshments provided. Attendees can take part in crafts and activities or sit and chat and have their nails polished if they wish.

“Our dementia day centre is here to provide support and care for those living in the community with mid-late stages of Dementia, who may have additional personal care and behavioural needs. We are so grateful to Tallington Lodge for allowing us to hold these sessions in a friendly and safe environment.”
