Here some dementia carers talk about their experiences and the challenges they face
I am Dave Matthews and my wife is Mavis. This is our story. It is a journey from Spring, through Summer and now into Autumn.
"It has been the most difficult few years of my life as I have fought to understand & deal with a “new” Mavis, but also the most rewarding as I see what love can do when medical science has no answer."
"I needed that help to know where I should go"
Susan made an important find after the the reminiscence session of one of our Ancestry Talks
"It’s just so lovely for my mum, who I care for who has dementia, and my aunts that they now have this clasp. It’s helped us to connect and find out more about the family history."
"It’s heart breaking to see my mother deteriorate. As someone gets worse with dementia you take on more and more things you never thought you’d have to do.".
By registering with us as a carer you will get access to a whole range of services, including advice, information, access to our groups, events and carers grants.
You can book a call with one of our support workers and talk to them about any of your concerns.
