Coping with dementia
Dementias of all types can be difficult to come to terms with. Loved ones may change their behaviour or personality and those living with dementia may feel confused, anxious and angry.
It's important to remember that for everyone living with dementia, their journey is their own. Unique to them and different for everybody. Symptoms do not follow a clear path, progression may be rapid, slow, fits & starts or may not even progress much at all depending on the cause & type of dementia.
We'd urge everyone living with dementia - and their families - to make use of the support services available. From care agencies such as ourselves, day centres and Community Mental Health professionals, there's help available.
We know that the everyday things can often be the most frustrating for families living with dementia so here's our top tips to help.
