Dementia UK's free Helpline offers support for anyone affected by dementia, including the person with the diagnosis/suspected diagnosis, family members, friends and other carers. It is staffed by specialist dementia nurses, known as Admiral Nurses, who provide support with all aspects of dementia, for example understanding the diagnosis, practical tips for caring, advice on finances, benefits and planning for the future, and emotional support. There is no time limit and you can call back whenever you need us.
