Dementia Support

Dementia Support

 

We are a Dementia friendly Practice and want to provide our patients and their famillies with the best possible support. Please let us know if we can help you.

 

In Wolverhampton, there are various contacts you can use to help with queries should you prefer;

Pre-diagnosis support in Wolverhampton 

If you live in Wolverhampton and are concerned about memory loss for yourself, a relative or friend and need someone to talk to please contact Memory Matters on 01902 553445 alternatively contact your local GP. 

Post-diagnosis support in Wolverhampton

Once you have been notified with a diagnosis, Dementia Connect are here to support.

Dementia Connect, from Alzheimer’s Society, is a new personalised dementia support service for anyone affected by dementia. 

It connects you with a whole range of dementia support, by phone, online and face to face. So, you’re one call away from someone who gets it. One click away from answers. One conversation away from help. 

It’s free, easy to access, and puts you in touch with our dementia advisers. They will connect you to the support you need, from local help to phone and online advice. 

Here are a few examples the support provided: 

  • emotional support when things get tough 
  • connecting you to local support groups 
  • help to understand and live with dementia, including coping techniques 
  • support with everyday living, such as government benefits 

Any referrals now go through our new Dementia Connect Service. The telephone number is 0333 150 3456. Lines are open 7 days per week. Calls to this number are charged at a local rate.

Referrals can be received from professionals, people who have a diagnosis of dementia, friends and family members.

Dementia cafés

The Alzheimer's Society, in partnership with the City of Wolverhampton Council, organises free Dementia Cafes for people living with dementia and their carers.

Dementia cafés offer a place where people living at home with diagnosed dementia, their friends and carers can meet for informal support. Cafes provide a welcoming environment where everyone understands the challenges of the condition or caring for someone who is living with it. The group is run by Alzheimer's Society trained Staff and Volunteers; there is usually a talk on a relevant subject, interesting activities and information on local services.  

Drinks and biscuits are provided. The groups are very informal and friendly and we welcome new people. The cafes do not provide personal care or act as a 'drop-off' service for carers.

Wolverhampton's Dementia Cafes are a monthly meeting for people with dementia or memory loss, their families and friends. They also continue to hold regular online “zoom groups”.

For further information please contact email blackcountryoffice@alzheimers.org.uk or call 07484 089515.
