About the Dementia Helpline

The freephone Dementia Helpline provides information and emotional support to people with the illness, their families, friends and professionals.

The Helpline is staffed by trained volunteers supported by a staff team at Alzheimer Scotland. Many of the volunteers have had personal or professional experience of caring for people with dementia.

The Dementia Helpline can provide information right away on many questions or concerns. We can send out free information to carers, family members or people with dementia. We have a panel of expert advisers who help answer more complex enquiries.

I promised my mum I wouldn't put her in a home but now I'm not well myself..

Where can I find some help caring for my wife?
