Dementia Services (Hampshire & Portsmouth)

About

Dementia Support Service: Local staff are working by phone, in writing and online to support people affected by Dementia. Local Dementia Support Workers offer information and practical guidance to help people understand dementia, cope with day-to-day challenges and prepare for the future. Dementia Support Workers are there to explain about the condition as well as signposting people to the support services available. Face to face visits can also be arranged as appropriate.

Companion Calls: Companion Calls can help people with dementia and their carers feel more connected and less lonely. These are a social chat -they do not offer specific dementia support, advice or guidance. Trained volunteers make regular phone calls to check in and have a friendly chat about anything the person they’re calling chooses.

Dementia Talking Point: Dementia Talking Point is a helpful online community where anyone who is affected by dementia can receive valuable support. It's free, open day or night, and can be accessed online: https://www.alzheimers.org.uk/get-support/dementia-talking-point-our-online-community
