Getting a diagnosis for you or a loved one can be overwhelming at first. However, it opens up many opportunities for you to be better supported along your dementia journey.
Someone living with dementia may struggle to regularly take what they’re prescribed, or be taking more medication than necessary.
A diagnosis of dementia can make travelling more difficult. There are some things that may make holiday planning easier and lots of tips to consider before you travel.
People living with dementia are able to carry on using the skills they have in areas such as making music, visual art and craft making, for far longer than it might once have been assumed.
You may have questions about how to pay for care and support and how to ensure your wishes and preferences can be respected.
A diagnosis does not always mean you have to give up driving. There are ways to make driving easier and options if you are giving up driving.
If you, or someone you know, is experiencing significant memory loss, confusion, or problems with language and decision-making, then it is important to seek an assessment from a doctor.
