Carers Support
ReMind UK have a range of support sessions specifically for carers of someone with dementia, to introduce them to helpful services and advice.
Support for dementia carers at ReMind UK includes:
- Information days
- Wellbeing sessions
- ‘Talking table’ workshops exploring issues such as advanced care planning or strategies to cope with dementia
We may work in partnership with other carers organisations or professionals to deliver our support sessions.
Information days
ReMind UK run free half-day information sessions for carers to gain a better understanding of dementia, think about future planning and find out about local support services. These sessions are supported by our long standing carers organisations and partners in the community.
Information days are held at the ReMind UK centre in Bath regularly and last for half a day. They offer an opportunity to connect with people in a similar situation.
Several expert speakers are invited to present on important topics and carers are given the chance to ask questions. The topics often include legal tips for carers, local services available and learning more about dementia as a disease.
See our list of partners we often collaborate with on information days:
- Legal advice for carers from Stone King Solicitors
- Coping strategies from nurses at Dorothy House
- Day centre support from Peggy Dodd
- Services available locally from Age UK
- Carers top tips from The Carers Centre
- Dementia support from Alzheimer’s Society
“Thank you for putting on this session. As I embark on this journey this has been very helpful.”
