Penistone Tesco launches their first dementia friendly checkout

The checkout will always be operated by a member of staff who is dementia trained, ensuring they are able to support people through the process and help with any problems that may arise.

The checkout includes photos of coins to help people living with dementia when they are paying, and is fully stocked with leaflets from various organisations who offer support and groups for people living with dementia, their family, friends and carers.

This is a brilliant initiative and a huge step in the right direction to creating dementia friendly communities.

We can’t thank Heather enough for working in partnership with Tesco and sharing her dementia expertise.
