Living With Dementia

A dementia diagnosis can be overwhelming – and it may feel like everything has changed.

Age UK can offer support for both the person with dementia and for those looking after them.

There’s more to dementia than just being forgetful. We can help you understand more about dementia symptoms, the different types of dementia, who may be at risk, and how dementia's treated.

A dementia diagnosis doesn't have to mean that you stop doing the things you enjoy. Our information and advice can help you stay independent and live well for as long as possible.

Caring for someone living with dementia can be challenging, but there's lots of support available to carers, both emotional and financial. It's important that you look after yourself, too.

Here are two booklets you may find helpful.
