Services we provide

We provide the national Dementia Helpline, this website (www.alzscot.org) and local services all over Scotland for people with dementia and their carers. Our local services may include:

• day centres providing the chance to socialise and enjoy activities and outings, and giving carers a break (some centres open in the evenings and at weekends too)
• home support services providing company and help to maintain skills and independence at home, while the carer is free to go out (sometimes this is also available overnight)
• drop-in centres where people with dementia and carers can socialise
• support groups for carers and for people with dementia
• carer education helping carers learn more about the illness and how to cope
• one-to-one support to help people with dementia and their families cope with the illness
• welfare rights service
• information and advice on a wide range of subjects.
