Short break weekends
(Dementia)
We run weekend short breaks in West Sussex for people with dementia and their family members.
Our short breaks take place over two days in both Spring and Autumn each year, at a venue in West Sussex.
The weekend breaks are designed for people under the age of 65 who have received a diagnosis of dementia. However, the person can be any age, they just need to be ‘young at heart’. A family or friend carer is also welcome to accompany their loved one.
What to expect
Whether you want to go for a swim or a bike ride, try your hand at some art therapy, sing with friends or simply rest and relax, our short breaks can offer something for you.
Round the clock support* is provided by TuVida. TuVida has a wealth of experience in caring and supporting people with different needs including people with dementia.
*We can support your loved one while you take part in activities on your own but we are unable to offer personal care.
Cost
The cost includes a two night stay in an en-suite room and all meals, refreshments and entertainment.
The cost is £175 per person for a 48-hour weekend stay. If this is a barrier to you taking part, please do contact us as soon as possible as you may be able to apply for funding to help cover the cost.
