As this is Dementia Action Week we would like to tell you about The Dementia Mentor. We would also like to offer 20% off any Mentoring Programs booked this week.

🌸You don’t have to navigate dementia alone🌸

Compassionate, one-to-one support to help you understand, cope, and feel more confident, every step of the way.

🌻Understanding🌻

When someone you love is living with dementia, everything can feel uncertain. You may be:
Struggling to understand changes in behaviour
Feeling overwhelmed, exhausted, or unsure what to do next
Trying to navigate services, support, and decisions
Wanting to do the right thing, but not knowing what that looks like
The journey can feel isolating. But you don’t have to do it on your own

🌸How Can I Help🌸

I provide calm, practical, and compassionate support tailored to you and your situation. Together, we will:
Make sense of what’s happening and why
Build confidence in how you respond day to day
Find approaches that reduce stress for you and your loved one
Talk through decisions and next steps
Help you feel more in control and less alone
This is not a one size fits all approach.
It is personal, flexible, and shaped around you.

🌻What Makes This Different🌻

This isn’t just professional knowledge. It is real understanding
10+ years working in dementia care
Experience with the Alzheimers Society
Working with CQC as an Expert by Experience, on inspections
ILM Level 5 qualified in Coaching & Mentoring
Personal, lived experience living with and supporting a family member

✨I understand both the system and what it feels like to live through it.✨

🌸What Support Looks Like🌸

Initial Assessment Session - a space to talk, understand your situation and identify what you need most right now.
Ongoing Mentoring (5 session program) - a structured but flexible program designed to support you through your journey. Each session focuses on:
Understanding dementia and behaviour
Communication and connection
Managing challenges and reducing stress
Navigating services and planning ahead
Building confidence and resilience
Because dementia does not follow a straight path, I offer continued support as things change.

🌻Who This Is For🌻

Family members supporting a loved one with dementia
Individuals recently diagnosed
Carers feeling overwhelmed or unsure
Anyone wanting guidance, clarity and support

🌸The Outcome🌸

After working together, you will feel:
More confident in how you respond
Less overwhelmed and more in control
Clearer about what to do next
Better able to support your loved one
Reassured that you are not alone

✨You don’t have to carry this on your own.✨

Residents and staff at Russell Churcher Court enjoyed reminiscing on days gone by during Dementia Action Week. We were pleased to invite Lesley Barton from local dementia support group Recapture Life who ran a reminiscence session and used lots of different objects from the past to spark memories among our residents. It was a great session.
