Dementia UK provides specialist dementia support for families through their Admiral Nurse service. When things get challenging or difficult for people with dementia and their families, Admiral Nurses work alongside them. They give the one-to-one support, guidance and practical solutions people need, and that can be hard to find elsewhere. Admiral Nurses are continually trained, developed and supported by Dementia UK. Families that have their support have someone truly expert and caring by their side —helping them to live more positively with dementia in the present, and to face the challenges of tomorrow with more confidence and less fear.
Dementia UK’s Nurses, known as Admiral Nurses are continually supported and developed by Dementia UK, to provide life-changing advice and support to anyone affected by dementia, whenever it’s needed.
With the support of an Admiral Nurse and Dementia UK – whether it’s on their Helpline, through their clinic service, or in the community – families they support know they are not alone.
