Dementia and Dementia Related Conditions

Description

The Dementia Advisor Service offers support for individuals experiencing symptoms of dementia, those awaiting or having received a diagnosis, and their loved ones. It provides one-to-one appointments with specialist advisors in community settings, primary care, or through home visits, offering guidance, emotional support, and referrals to services such as carers assessments, social prescribing, support groups, and benefits advice. The service also includes an online information hub, a telephone helpline, and works to raise awareness and promote dementia inclusion. A key focus is ensuring that people with dementia and their carers have ongoing access to peer support and community engagement opportunities.
