Does a dementia diagnosis mean your loved one needs to move into a care home?

We can assure you that it doesn’t.

With the right care in place, your loved one can continue living safely and comfortably at home, in familiar surroundings.

September marks the 15th anniversary of World Alzheimer’s month.

This year’s theme is ‘The Earlier You Know, The More You Can Do. A Diagnosis Matters.’

It’s a message we stand behind and resonates with many families we support.

Early diagnosis can help you and your loved one access the right support, plan for the future and make informed decisions about their care.

If you have questions about dementia or Alzheimer’s, please get in touch. We can offer guidance and point you towards the right organisations and professionals who can provide the advice you need.

You don’t have to do this alone.
