Support for new carers
When someone you love is diagnosed with dementia, it can be difficult to know where to start. You may have questions about what to expect, what support is available and how best to support both the person you care for and yourself.
We offer a free initial one-to-one consultation with our Dementia Services Manager or Team Leader. This provides an opportunity to discuss your individual circumstances, ask questions, and explore the support, advice and local services available to you.
Whether you are looking for practical guidance, information about dementia, help navigating services or simply someone to talk things through with, we are here to help. You do not need to know exactly what support you need before contacting us. We will take the time to listen, understand your situation and help you identify the options that may benefit you now and in the future.
Our aim is to ensure that no carer feels they have to navigate their dementia journey alone.
To arrange an initial conversation, please email us at dementiaservices@elmbridge.gov.uk or call 01372 474547.
