Dementia care
At Dorothy House we know there is more about the person than the disease. We want to ensure all our patients living with dementia and their carers have access to timely, appropriate and personalised care, including advanced care planning, with their decisions being heard and acted on.
Caring for a loved one with dementia
We know supporting someone with dementia can be very difficult at times and it is vital that carers feel they have a service that can help signpost and respond to their needs, as and when they have a concern.
Below is a link to DementiaUK‘s free resources hub which offers information and advice for adults and young people on caring for a loved one with dementia.
Roadmap for carers
The Dementia Roadmap and The Support Village are brought to you by Alzheimer’s Support Wiltshire and funded by Wiltshire Clinical Commissioning Group.
