Gweithredu i wneud Dover Dementia Cyfeillgar

Fel rhan o Wythnos Ymwybyddiaeth Dementia, cynnal y Gynghrair Dementia lleol digwyddiad yn Gyngor Tref Dover ar gyfer busnesau a sefydliadau lleol gyda Liz Taylor, Rheolwr y Gwasanaethau yn y Gymdeithas East Kent Alzheimer

dros 40 people attended with a good number of organisations and businesses represented. Liz spoke about the need for businesses to recognise what a vital role they can play by making their business Dementia Friendly. Gallai gwelliannau bychain gynnwys gwell arwyddion, goleuadau a hyd yn oed newid lliw matiau wrth fynedfeydd (gan y gall matiau du roi'r argraff bod twll i'r rhai sydd â dementia). With the retirement age increasing, employees may develop dementia so employers need to be aware of good practice to enable people to continue to be able to work – and Liz explained how a branch of a national supermarket had taken action on this. As our population ages employers also need to be aware that employees may have caring responsibilities and make adjustments to manage the pressures that this can bring.
