The Dementia Carer Support Service has joined with Admiral Nurses to offer specialist support information and advice to the carers of people living with dementia. We will work in partnership with carers, families and the person living with dementia.
This service will offer psychological support, practical advice and will help carers to develop and improve skills needed when caring for loved ones living with dementia.
We will provide referrals to treatment and support service along with therapeutic, educational and social support carer groups and we will provide guidance and liaise with other professionals.
