Lane, Preston PR5 5XU.
Drop-in to our monthly advice hub and
empower yourself with information to
help you and your family live well with a
serious illness.
Increasingly more and more people are
living with dementia. The UK Care Guide
offers a range of guidance and support
to people looking for care and through
that, and specifically through the support
it was offering people with Live in Care,
they noticed that care support was
increasingly needed for dementia. That
then led them to produce a fantastic
graphic which shares 51 tips on living
with dementia. The tips cover a range of
topics to aid with daily life in areas such
as maintaining your mental health, the
legal and financial issues to consider
and advice for carers, friends and family
on caring for someone with dementia.
