Dementia

We'll guide you on your journey from diagnosis to the later stages of dementia and explain how you can make life easier. Some of the films may contain a small amount of information you may find upsetting but if you watch them all you'll find yourself more able to cope positively with dementia and live well with it. We wish you the very best on your journey and do remember there's a lot you can do to take control of the illness and slow the progression. Good luck. Let's take control!
