Information and advice

The National Alzheimer's Society provides a wide range of information and advice sheets on many topics. If you have a specific query, there may be a title to match your needs. You may download it from the main web site.

If you or a loved one have only recently been diagnosed with dementia, or are still uncertain about the cause of worrying memory problems, then you may like some guidance about where to start. We suggest the following:

Basic information about dementia

What is dementia? (Information sheet 400)
What if I have dementia? (Advice sheet 518)
Diagnosis and assessment (Information sheet 426)
Aricept, Excelon and Reminyl - the drugs for Alzheimer's Disease (Information sheet 407)
Understanding and respecting the person with dementia (Advice sheet 524)

Issues that are important to consider as soon as a diagnosis of dementia is received

Next Steps (Information sheet 471)
Financial and legal tips (Information sheet 467)
Enduring Power of Attorney and Receivership (Information sheet 472)
Driving and dementia (Advice sheet 527)

The branch has a small library of reference books and videos. We also have a data-base of dementia specific information. Appointments for information and advice can be made by prior arrangement by ringing the branch office. If you would like to talk to someone, contact the H help Line.
