Dementia adviser service

Dementia Advisers are named workers for people with dementia. They assess people with dementia and their carers and provide advice, information, support, monitoring and client representation as appropriate. The Advisors are the first point of contact for people with dementia, their carers and other professionals who may need advice and support to access Dementia Concern, then referred to outside services. They complete home visits to assess the needs of person with dementia and the carers and cover advice and information on a wide range of subjects, including all aspects of dementia, how to care more effectively for a relative or friend with dementia, and all the services available.
