How we support you

Pre-diagnosis - Are you worried about your memory? If you have concerns but don’t have a diagnosis of dementia, our Dementia Support Workers can still help. Our new Memory Information Service is here for you if you are worried about your memory, already have a diagnosis of Mild Cognitive Impairment, or are waiting for an appointment at the Memory Clinic.

 Post-diagnosis- Following a dementia diagnosis, we provide ongoing support tailored to your needs. You’ll be matched with a local Dementia Support Worker who will get to know your situation and connect you with the right services, activities, and support in your community. Your Dementia Support Worker will stay in regular contact to check how you’re doing and help you access additional support as your needs change over time.

The Alzheimer's Society website is full of helpful information (both text and video) to enable you to understand what dementia is, the impact it has, what support is available; along with information and guides of how you can help support friends and family with dementia.
