Dementia UK

Dementia UK offers specialist one-to-one support and expert advice for people living with dementia.

Our renowned Admiral Nurses work hand in hand with families, helping them cope with the fear, uncertainty and difficult everyday reality of dementia.

Living with dementia can be an incredibly hard and lonely experience for both the person with dementia and their family. We provide the compassionate, expert support families need every step of the way – helping everyone in that family to live more positively with dementia in the present; and to face the challenges of tomorrow with more confidence and less fear.
