Alzheimer's Society Dementia Connect

Are you a carer for someone with dementia? 

We are launching a new project to keep people out of hospital, support hospital discharge and to help ease the pressure on the NHS.  

The new project offers intense dementia support to carers over a four week period.  In the first week we will call you daily, reducing to three calls a week in the second week, and two calls a week in the third week.  From week four this will reduce to a once weekly call.  

We can also prepare carers/families for the person with dementia returning home from hospital. We can help you to understand dementia and put in place strategies for changes you may face.

We can also offer our 'moving on programme' designed to help people make the transition to residential care – looking at all aspects, including choosing a home, paying for care and what carers can do to make the transition easier.

We also offer specialist support groups, both virtually and over the telephone. 

If you think you would benefit from any of this support, please contact us on 01954 250322 or email cambridgeshiredementia@alzheimers.org.uk
