Support for people living with Dementia
It is important that you are aware of the support available to you, via Dementia Direct and other local services.
Dementia Direct can support you by:
- Providing one-to-one support over the phone, online or face-to-face with a trained Carer Key Worker or Dementia Adviser
- Focussing on wellbeing rather than illness
- Supporting you to think about how you can come to terms with and live well with dementia
- Assisting you with the health and social care support available to people with a diagnosed dementia, their family and Carers
- Offering advice and workshops on planning for the future
- Facilitating local support groups across North Lincolnshire
- Signposting to appropriate support as your condition progresses
We aim to make sure the support we provide is individual to you.
The home of Dementia Direct, the Carers’ Support Service, is a trusted and respected charity. We have been supporting Carers of people with Dementia since 1989. Now it’s time for us to join you on your journey.
