In Conjunction with Falls Awareness and Walking Aid MOT Week 18^th - 22^nd September 2023

At our upcoming event, we aim to not only create a fun atmosphere but also raise awareness about the benefits of walking with a frame for residents living with dementia. Safely encouraging movement can have a significant positive impact on their overall physical and mental well-being.

One of the highlights of the event will be the opportunity for residents to pimp their Zimmer frames! Show off your creativity and personalise your frames with colourful decorations, stickers, ribbons, and more. Let your imagination run wild and make your Zimmer frame truly unique.

Why is walking with a frame important for individuals with dementia?

Maintaining Mobility: Regular walking with a frame can help individuals with dementia maintain their mobility, balance, and strength. It promotes better circulation and muscle function, reducing the risk of falls.

Cognitive Stimulation: Walking stimulates the brain and helps improve cognitive function. The simple act of moving around can enhance memory, attention, and overall brain health.

Social Engagement: Taking a stroll with a frame creates opportunities for social interaction among residents. It fosters a sense of community and offers a chance to bond with fellow neighbours while enjoying the fresh air.

Independence and Dignity: Using a frame empowers individuals with dementia to preserve their independence and continue actively participating in daily activities. It provides them with stability and confidence, supporting their sense of dignity.

Remember, walking is not only a physical activity; it's a way to nurture our minds and souls. See you at the event – where we'll combine fashion, functionality, and fun to create unforgettable memories!
