FREE face-to-face dementia care clinics are planned in Ealing from next month.
They will be hosted by Dementia UK’s Admiral Nurses in the Nationwide building society office at 9 New Broadway.
The aim is to support anyone impacted by dementia in the borough.
That support includes practical and emotional advice, from worries about memory problems and understanding a diagnosis to how the condition can progress.
The sessions can also help with financial and legal issues. Appointments can be booked via Dementia UK’s website here.
The clinics form part of Nationwide’s social impact programme, Fairer Futures, which addresses dementia (Dementia UK), youth homelessness (Centrepoint) and family poverty (Action for Children).
Sarah Priestley, Admiral Nurse at Dementia UK, said: “Dementia is a huge and growing health crisis – someone in the UK develops dementia every three minutes and the condition is the leading cause of death in England and Wales.”
To book a confidential and in-person appointment with an Admiral Nurse, visit //www.dementiauk.org/nationwide.
The pop-up clinics will be on December 3, 4 and 5.
