Where to find dementia support

There are several organisations across the UK who can offer you advice and support about all stages of dementia and how to support a loved one suffering from the disorder. Being able to share your feelings with those in a similar situation can help to reduce isolation and might help you get another perspective on any issues you might have.

- Alzheimer’s Society has a support telephone line, where dementia advisers will listen and give you the support and advice you need. Find out more here: https://www.alzheimers.org.uk/dementia-connect-support-line
