Hi,
I just want to make it clear, I am not selling or promoting my business I simply want advise from people who experience dementia within their family.
I previously worked in a care home where a lot of our residents were diagnosed with dementia. During my time there I took them out to dementia friendly events and visited charities which helped people with all sorts of disabilities and illnesses, of all ages. They highlighted to me that it is a struggle to find salons (hair and beauty) that accommodate for people like your family members.
Having found out this information I have decided to put my all into opening a salon which is suitable to everyone, as it is important for people to still live their life even if they have dementia. I have witnessed how these little things can really help improve moods and have a positive impact and I would like to carry on helping.
Hence why I would like some info regarding this matter. It would really help if i could have some feedback on if you have been in this situation and it was a disaster, how it could of improved and why it didn’t work. To if it was a success some reasons as to why.
I understand not everybody is at the stage where they will be able to attend and everyone is different and can also be different from day to day. But I want to offer a calm and peaceful environment for people to be able to relax and where family members can feel they can come for some support.
Like I say, I won’t be disclosing my brand name as I am not seeking business. I only want to help and provide a service which has been developed by the real life obstacles that you all face.
Thanks!
