An Exmouth care home resident has joined a special project.

The individual, a resident at Raleigh Manor care home, has been invited to take part in the Mindflow project run by artist, Paul Stretton-Stephens.

Aimed at shattering public misconceptions about the impact of dementia on the arts, the project intends to exhibit that creativity continues to flourish in those living with dementia.

Finished creations will help raise funds for the National Brain Appeal.

Gill Pratt, general manager at Raleigh Manor, said: "This has been a perfect collaboration just in time for Dementia Action Week."

She added: "We think Paul’s project is absolutely brilliant so when he invited us to bring a resident to participate, we were delighted."

Raleigh Manor, which is run by Barchester Healthcare, offers both residential and dementia care, including respite and long term stays.

Ms Pratt also shared the organisation's excitement about the venue, the recently opened Ness Care Hub.

She said: "The newly opened Ness Care Hub is also the perfect venue and we look forward to doing more with this valuable local resource."

Residents are kept active by a wide-ranging life enrichment programme that consists of daily, engaging physical, mental and spiritual activities tailored to residents' interests and abilities.
