Essex Dementia Care

Essex Dementia Care helps local people, and their families, to cope following a diagnosis and helps them to navigate the devastating impact this can have on a family and day-to-day living.

Their personalised support plans are built around a person’s familiar and valued activities and are designed to maintain independence. Trained practitioners encourage the return of lost skills and offer the opportunity to discover new ones. The main aim is to keep families living together for as long as possible with fewer hospital visits.

We supported the cost of employing a one-to-one dementia practitioner who visits families in their homes.
