Starting from June 2022, the Dementia & Me Co-ordinators will be a single point of contact for help and support for all things dementia across the area. Our Dementia & Me Co-Ordinators will be able to visit you in your own home, create a support plan, and offer a wide range of support and advice.
Our Dementia & Me Co-Ordinators can help you:
- Develop an adaptive support plan to help you manage changing needs throughout the dementia journey
- Highlight the importance of a diagnosis and attend Memory Assessment appointments with you and your carer
- Identify and arrange access to appropriate support groups for your diagnosis, offering support to take the first steps in these settings
- By offering emotional support and advice around diagnosis and difficulties arising from dementia symptoms
- Understand the services available locally and refer to and signpost to a wide variety of organisations with specialist expertise in dementia support or for other support needs
Though your co-ordinator may help you find more specialist advice in some instances, your assigned co-ordinator will remain with you throughout the process and act as a single point of contact, so that you don’t have to see a different person for every problem you may encounter.
