September marks the 15th anniversary of World Alzheimer’s month.

This year’s theme is ‘The Earlier You Know, The More You Can Do. A Diagnosis Matters.’

It’s a message we stand behind and resonates with many families we support.

Early diagnosis can help you and your loved one access the right support, plan for the future and make informed decisions about their care.

If you have questions about dementia or Alzheimer’s, please get in touch. We can offer guidance and point you towards the right organisations and professionals who can provide the advice you need.

You don’t have to do this alone.

Are you spending time with older loved ones this Bank Holiday? 💚

We hope you have a fabulous time together.

Some of us might notice some changes in our nearest dearest this weekend.

Perhaps Mum isn’t eating like she used to, or maybe Dad is getting out less?

You don’t have to navigate those challenges alone. We can talk you through the support available.

Photos can bring back a whole load of memories. 📷

For World Photography Day, we’re asking: what photo would instantly bring back memories for someone you love?

It might be a wedding photo, a holiday snap, or a picture from a day out you’ve never forgotten.

Whatever it is, we’d love to hear about it!

Recovering at home following a hospital stay can be tough. ❤‍🩹
