Approach Dementia Support has been supporting those affected by dementia since 1981. Our charity provides services to support the well-being of people living with dementia, their families and carers.
We believe that everyone affected by dementia should be supported to live their life the way they choose and our wide range of specialist services allow us to assist our local communities throughout Staffordshire.
People Living with Dementia
Approach Dementia Support provide person-centered dementia services in North Staffordshire and Stoke on Trent to provide 1-2-1 and group community-based activities which enables and encourages social interaction, emotional support and provides access to information. Research highlights the importance of social interaction for those affected by dementia: physical, mental and social activity can help slow the progression of symptoms of dementia.
Family and Carers
We recognise that Family and Carers provide the stability that people living with dementia need daily. It is therefore just as important that carers get the support they need. Carers can access information, emotional support, training and advice through our Carers Cafes, Carer Support Team and Carer Training.
Community Services and Healthcare Professionals
Our website offers fact sheets and support and advice for people working with those affected by dementia. We offer training for organisations working directly with people with dementia and organisations looking to become dementia friendly and support our community to enable people affected by dementia to live well.
