Memory Walk for Alzheimer’s charity held at Storrington care home

While the weather was still good, the team at Sussexdown enjoyed the fresh air as they exercised around the large space and stunning scenery at the residential, dementia and nursing home.

Those who took part have so far raised more than £300 to help in the fight against the various types of dementia.

According to the Alzheimer’s Society, one in 14 people aged over 65 are living with dementia and the likelihood of developing it increases significantly with age.

There are more than 42,000 people in the UK under 65 with dementia.

Sussexdown, which is managed by not-for-profit charity Care South, has a specialist wing dedicated to helping people live independent and fulfilled lives with dementia. Princess Alexandra House provides high-quality care for people living with dementia within a safe and caring environment.

The unit sits alongside the gracious main house, nestling in beautiful grounds with stunning views over the Sussex Downs.
