Garden Fete at Cornwallis Court
9 August 2010
Geoffrey Dicker House, the Dementia Support Unit at Cornwallis Court, Suffolk recently held their Garden Fete.
The Fete was well attended by residents, relatives and friends and included many stalls, a raffle and musical entertainment. The event was also attended by the Deputy Mayor of St Edmondsbury: Councilor Patricia Warby who officially opened the new 1950's style shop.
The 1950's shop came about as a result of the training given by Dementia UK which encouraged staff to come up with practical ideas on how they could enhance the lives of the people in their care. A small lounge was redecorated and staff hunted down old furniture such as an old fashioned till and pictures to put on the walls. The shop is a huge success with the residents.
