What is the Dementia Adviser Service?

The dementia adviser service is primarily for people with dementia, as well as their supporters and carers. It provides them with a named contact throughout their journey with dementia.

The main aims of the service are to provide a quality information and signposting service which is tailored to individual need.

Dementia Adviser volunteers

Dementia adviser volunteers support dementia advisers by providing a quality information and signposting service to people with dementia.

Activities include:

  • Being an additional named contact to support people with dementia, complementing the work of the dementia adviser
  • Helping people with dementia to access and understand information
  • Supporting people with dementia in accessing services to which they have been signposted.
