Dementia Help Magazine

This issue covers all you need to know about arranging and funding for respite care so that you can take a break. It also looks at the pros and cons of live-in versus residential care, coping with swallowing problems and how to deal with repetition.

In addition, Scott Mitchell, husband of the late Dame Barbara Windsor, talks about life as her carer and what he wished he knew about dementia at the start.

This issue of the magazine focuses on planning ahead so that your loved one receives the care they will need in future, what financial help they may be entitled to and how to organise essential paperwork

We also look at how to manage sundowning, coping with Christmas and what rights you have if you work as well as being a carer. And there’s an interview with Sue Strachan, who has vascular dementia, in which she shares what she’d like you to know about living with dementia.

The second issue of our free bi-monthly magazine for carers is packed with advice, information and support on looking after a loved one with dementia, including articles on improving the eating habits of your loved one, what to do if the person can no longer live alone and key things to do in the early stages of a loved one’s diagnosis.
