Dementia

The Community Support Service provides a range of activities and services to help people to stay healthy, independent and engaged. Each of the eight centres has flexible, knowledgeable, well trained staff who ensure that support is offered in a person-centred way in line with people’s needs.

The Contented Dementia Trust, formerly known as SPECAL, is an independent charitable organisation with an innovative approach to the care of people with dementia.

There may be ways you can receive help and support, either now or in the future. You may be eligible for financial support, while local groups and later care could provide the support you need.

If you or someone you know is worried about becoming increasingly forgetful, particularly if they're older than 65, you should talk to your doctor about the possibility of dementia. This site offers information for people with dementia and their families and friends. It aims to raise awareness of dementia, as well as help people create networks and better understand the impact of the condition.

Dementia UK offers specialist one-to-one support and expert advice for people living with dementia.
