Dementia

If you're concerned about your own or someone elses memory

Make an appointment to see your GP. The earlier you seek help, the sooner you can get information, advice and support.

How the GP can support a person with dementia (Alzheimer's Society website),

If you have problems with your memory

If you have problems with your memory which affects how you manage at home, contact Care Direct for advice, support and an assessment.

If you're a carer

If you're a carer for someone with dementia you're entitled to a carer's assessment.

Dementia friendly swimming

We also run dementia friendly swimming sessions at swimming pools in Bristol.
