Alzheimer's Support is a registered charity founded in 1990 in response to a locally identified need for support for people with dementia and their family carers.
Our range of flexible services support people living at home with mild to moderate dementia, helping them to maintain as much independence and control over their lives as possible.
We provide services to around 150 people at any one time, with most clients using more than one of our services.
We work alongside family carers, providing information and emotional support throughout the course of the illness.
