Local care home to host Parkinson’s awareness event
Bayleaf Care Home, in Huntingdon have teamed up with Parkinson’s UK and will be inviting members of the local community to an informative presentation on living with Parkinson’s, which will coincide with Parkinson’s Awareness Month which takes place every April.
The presentation will be taking place on Thursday 23rd April at 2pm, and guests will have a chance to hear about what Parkinson’s is, what Parkinson’s UK do and the services that they offer.
General Manager Katie Wilkinson said: “We’re really looking forward to having Parkinson’s UK come in for the presentation. As a home we have daily involvement with individuals that are in some way or form affected by Parkinson’s so this is a subject that is very close to our hearts. Here at Bayleaf Care Home we are always looking at new ways that we can provide support and advice about care to anyone who needs it. If anyone is unable to make it on the day but would like to pop in for a tour and a cup of tea, our doors are always open.”
Bayleaf Care Home is run by Barchester Healthcare, one of the UK’s largest care providers, which is committed to delivering high-quality care across its care homes and hospitals.
