The essential guide when you’re caring for a person with dementia
When someone close to you is diagnosed with dementia, it can be difficult to know which way to turn. Our comprehensive guide – Caring for a person with dementia – can be your go-to companion.
It’s packed with information and advice. We have consulted with many carers, who have told us about the reality of supporting someone with dementia. Their experiences and insight have shaped this guide.
Am I a carer?
It can be daunting to find yourself described as a carer. As a partner, friend or relative you may not think of your relationship like this. In whichever way you support the person, you’ll find this guide invaluable. You can have it to hand to dip in and out of it or come back to the relevant information if and when you need it.
What’s included in this guide?
From when the person receives their diagnosis, through the changes and challenges of dementia, this booklet provides practical help, ideas and suggestions to help you both adjust to living with dementia. This includes details of how and where to get further support.
There is a restructured section on coping with the symptoms and changes of dementia. You’ll also find a new chapter about providing personal care with advice on staying well – for the carer and the person with dementia.
