PRE DIAGNOSIS / PREVENTION
/ HEALTHY LIFESTYLE
Although getting older is the biggest risk factor for dementia, evidence shows there are things you can do to help reduce your own risk. These include keeping active, eating healthily, and exercising your mind.
DIAGNOSIS
PATHWAY
An early diagnosis gives someone the chance to explain to family and friends the changes happening in their life. It can help people with dementia to have access to relevant information, resources, and support.
LIVING WELL
WITH DEMENTIA
Dementia can affect all aspects of a person's life, as well as their family's. If you've been diagnosed with dementia, or are caring for someone with the condition, remember there's advice and support available to help.
SUPPORTING
WELL
Caring for someone with dementia can be challenging and stressful. But with the right support, it can be rewarding and often satisfying.
NEEDING A
NEW HOME
Families often do not know where to turn for help when considering more advanced care needs. Doing research and having more knowledge ahead of time is key.
ADVANCED CARE
PLANNING
By creating an Advanced Care Plan it will enable you to make important decisions about your future care. Have your say with what happens next!
HOSPITAL
ADMISSIONS
As hospital admission can sometimes trigger distress, confusion, and delirium for someone with dementia and can contribute to a decline in functioning, preparing for a stay in hospital is key.
CONTINUING SUPPORT
& END OF LIFE CARE
It is difficult to predict when end of life may occur for someone with dementia, but knowing their wishes can make the time less stressful
YOUNG ONSET DEMENTIA
Almost 71,000 people are currently living in the UK with a diagnosis of young onset dementia.
