The emotional, social, psychological and practical impact on a person with Dementia is often underestimated.

It’s OK to say “I’m not OK”

A really good way to help reduce the pressure on you is to bring in some extra help, with planning and time it will get easier and mean you can take breaks and stay healthy.

Consider contacting a specialist home-care provider and bring in some professional and experienced care staff to share the work with you. Bringing in extra help doesn’t have to cost a great deal and there are some helpful cost-effective options to keep your loved one at home.
