Ostley House Dementia Unit Appeal


Ostley House was established as our Residential Home in 1964, since then over two million pounds has been spent in improving and extending our services. To further develop the home it has become apparent that to enable residents to remain in Ostley House until end-of-life, it would benefit from a dedicated Dementia Unit otherwise known as an EMI (Elderly Mentally Infirm) unit.


The word dementia describes a group of symptoms caused by the gradual death of brain cells, leading to the progressive decline of functions such as memory, orientation, understanding, judgement, calculation, learning, language and thinking. Dementia is a terminal disease where patients are expected to live three to nine years after diagnosis. Dementia directly afflicts 820,000 people in the UK, yet it touches the lives of so many more. To be able to build a Dementia Unit, which will provide first class care facilities for dementia sufferers, the Blind Society needs to raise funds of approximately £500,000.


By opening an Ostley House ‘Building for the Future’ Affinity account you’ll be supporting us in our endeavour because Furness Building Society will make a cash payment each year equal to 0.75% of the average total balance held in all the Building for the Future Affintiy Accounts. So the more you save the more you will help us in Building for the Future.
