Care

Care and support

We know that with the right support, people can and do live well with dementia. At Alzheimer Scotland, the core of our work is, and will always be, ‘care’. We want to help ensure that those living with dementia have access to, and receive, the highest quality of care.

Our Helpline is there for you day or night, whenever you need us. Our highly skilled team will offer a listening ear and emotional support, provide information and will signpost on to other supports if necessary. Call on 0808 808 3000. You can also contact our Helpline team via email on helpline@alzscot.org

If you need information, advice or advocacy in dealing with issues relating to dementia, our Dementia Advisors are here to help you. You can contact them between 9am – 5pm, Monday to Friday, and they can help with a wide range of issues such as accessing health and social care support, help with complaints, power of attorney, guardianship, and money and legal matters. Call us on 0300 373 5774 (charged at a local call rate), or email advice@alzscot.org

Our Brain Health & Dementia Resource Centres are based throughout Scotland and offer friendly, accessible environments. You can pop in for information, advice and support and each Centre is also a base for local groups and activities.

Our day services are provided by skilled and trained staff who deliver these vital, person-centred services across Scotland. They support people with dementia through therapeutic activities and help people maintain their independence for as long as possible.
