ELDERLY
CARE
THE World Alzheimer's day is
celebrated on 21st September.
CareMalta celebrated this day
by organising an event at Villa
Messina, one of its nine homes,
to mark this occasion.
The event featured a varied pro-
gramme which was introduced
by Prof. Charles Scerri, an expert
in the field. The programme or-
ganised highlighted a variation of
arts, literature and music.
During the programme resi-
dents and employees themselves
contributed through different
performances of music, dances
and literature reading. The event
was also complemented by key
cello performances.
Musical intermezzos by cellists
Gilmour Peplow and Stelios Pit-
tas were performed giving both
classical and contemporary in-
terpretations to residents, all of
whom were older adults.
The event was concluded with a
few words by CareMalta's CEO,
Natalie Briffa Farrugia followed
by a reception which was held at
Villa Messina gardens.
This occasion was dedicated to
raising awareness about the chal-
lenges and stigma surrounding
dementia. CareMalta's homes
offer person-centred care in a
dementia-friendly environment.
