Dementia Care

The term ‘care’ encompasses everything from a few hours of companionship, someone to help with personal care tasks that have become a little difficult to full time care.

There are a number of ways professional support can enhance your life with dementia. Sometimes it is enough to have a few ‘gadgets’, such as Telecare, around the home which are monitored remotely to make you feel safe. We have grouped ‘care’ into sections and you can search on these links by postcode for providers near your location.
