A CALDICOT care group have been praised for providing vital support to people from the area who are living with dementia. The Older People's Commissioner for Wales' team spent a day with staff and members of the Crossroads Care South East Wales group that meets every week at Cwrt Severn, Caldicot. People from the area who are living with dementia are picked up from home and taken to the venue, where they are able to take part in art and card-making sessions as well as other sensory activities. They also enjoy lunch together, with around 10 people attending every week. Older People's Commissioner for Wales, Sarah Rochira, said: "Crossroads Care is a wonderful example of a dementia-supportive initiative providing an accessible environment for people with dementia to meet regularly and take part in social activities that are both therapeutic and enjoyable. "The project is also proving invaluable for carers as it offers a day's respite, where they can have some time to themselves or complete other business, which they would otherwise find difficult." The visit to meet the group formed part of the commissioner's engagement roadshow, which has met with thousands of older people during the past year.
