How we support people living with dementia

A diagnosis of dementia should not mean an immediate end to your usual way of life, but many families will need specialist support to help adjust to the changes it can bring.  Beyond Dementia provides a range of practical services to enhance life and promote independence for people living at home with dementia in Wiltshire and for their family carers.

We encourage everyone to talk first to one of our dementia advisers so they can understand your circumstances and recommend services that are tailored to your needs. If you prefer to approach one of our day clubs or other services direct, that is fine too,

Are you newly diagnosed or need some extra help?

The best place to start is usually by talking to one of our dementia advisers. They will come and see you at home or in your GP surgery if you prefer, to discuss your situation and the kind of support that is available now and in the future. Your named adviser will stay in touch and refer you to more services and help if and when you might need it.
