Dementia Services

We offer a range of social support groups both internally at our Dementia Centre and externally at community venues across North Staffordshire and Stoke-on-Trent to help improve the wellbeing of people living with dementia.

Our Carer Support and Advice Sessions take place across North Staffordshire and Stoke-on-Trent, enabling dementia carers and their loved ones to access specialist support and advice from our team as well as meet other carers with shared experiences.

We provide 1--1 support that is delivered in either morning or afternoon sessions and is tailored to meet the individual needs of the person living with dementia. Our Dementia Support Workers are paired with people with dementia to enable them to participate in social activities of their choosing across 10 sessions. This service is subsidised by Dougie Mac and free to access.

Sessions are designed to promote positive wellbeing for people with mild to moderate dementia to remain socially active, as well as enable carer respite.

Please email dsequiries@dmhospice.org.uk or call Dementia Services on 01782 214999 to register your interest.
