Thank you for seeing dementia differently.

Dementia can turn a home into a living nightmare. Home is the place you should feel safest.

Sudden deafening sounds. Dark pits appearing in the floor. Being unable to recognise everyday items. These are some of the worst dementia symptoms that can make a home a terrifying place.

Experience what dementia can look and sound like

Someone living with dementia could be experiencing some or all of these symptoms. Dementia can affect a person's ability to communicate so they may not even be able to tell anyone. This is where our Dementia Support Workers can help make a difference.

'We provide practical and emotional support to families, helping them to understand the frightening effects of dementia and find ways of making everyday life better for their loved ones.'
- Daniel Fredriksson, Dementia Support Worker

Thank you for uniting with us against dementia.
