Dementia UK provides specialist dementia support for families through our Admiral Nurse service. When things get challenging or difficult for people with dementia and their families, Admiral Nurses work alongside them, giving the one-to-one support, expert guidance and practical solutions people need. The unique dementia expertise and experience an Admiral Nurse brings is a lifeline–it helps everyone in the family to live more positively with dementia in the present, and to face the challenges of tomorrow with more confidence and less fear.
Anyone with a question or concern about dementia can phone the Admiral Nurse Dementia Helpline on 0800 888 6678. The Helpline is staffed entirely by highly trained Admiral Nurses, and is open from 9am til 9pm on weekdays and from 9am til 5pm at weekends. You can email the Helpline at helpline@dementiauk.org.
If you have questions about what dementia is, what support someone with dementia is eligible for, how a person with dementia can stay otherwise well, or about some of the symptoms a person with dementia might experience, you can read and download our information leaflets by going to www.dementiauk.org/advice-and-information
