During the care group session, guests will also have a chance to meet the team at the home, to discuss any questions they might have about care.
Jodie Rakhta, home general manager, said: “We’re really looking forward to making more friends in our local community.
“The condition itself can be quite lonely and frightening, and the more support we can provide to each other, the better.
