Alzheimer Scotland: Living Well With Dementia
Access to the right information and support can help you to live well after a dementia diagnosis. Alzheimer Scotland's page "Living Well With Dementia" offers practical advice to help you live independently after a diagnosis and also provides information on where to turn when you need support. A positive approach that focuses on abilities rather than limitations will make a significant difference to how you live life with dementia, but as your dementia progresses it will begin to affect more aspects of your life, as well as the lives of those that care for you. If you do need help, don’t be afraid to ask for it. Whether it is from family and friends, professionals such as doctors and nurses, or Alzheimer Scotland, support is available for you.
Alzheimer Scotland provides services and support across Scotland and can help if you need information and advice, peer support and personalised support services, including day opportunities or activities and groups in your community.
Their network of Dementia Advisors, our Brain Health & Dementia Resource Centres, and their 24 hour Freephone Dementia Helpline 0808 808 3000, help to make sure you are not facing dementia alone.
