Care
Services for Younger People With Dementia tend to mirror the three
stages of the disease. It is our personal experience that carers
are best to concentrate solely on the degree the disease has reached.
We urge you not to spend your time worrying about the later
stages when a person needs your support in the here-and-now!
That said, we aim to
provide sound support & advice to all in the Wyre Forest area
that seek information about Dementia concerning the Younger Person
Al's Way, Al's Cafe
and our email address are your first point of contact
As the Dementia progresses,
other forms of support may be more applicable, for example 'Outreach'
services where a qualified helper or Occupational Therapist visits
you regularly at home and he or she engages in understanding and
appropriate activities. This support is usually provided free of
charge
If or when a person
progresses to the later stages of Dementia, you may need to consider
nursing care; either in the home or in a home. Both options are
likely to be expensive and are usually not tailored to the specific
needs and requirements of Younger People With Dementia
However, things are
slowly changing & our group is committed to giving you the latest
and most appropriate information for your circumstances. We also
intend to make these changes happen for the benefit of us all
