Essex Dementia Care

Essex Dementia Care http://www.essexdementiacare.org.uk/ Essex Dementia Care started in 2007, although we had a different name then. This is just the beginning. Charity No. 1129038.

We had done some research for the eight primary care trusts in Essex, looking for resources which might be available for people who were suffering from early onset dementia. We could find quite a few different services for people 70+, but very little that was suitable for fit and active people in their 50s and 60s – when early onset dementia usually starts. So we registered with the Care Quality C

ommission and began to develop a service of our own, designed with the needs of the younger person in mind, but able to accommodate the older person as well. What has evolved from those early days is a service of one-to-one care, companionship and support for the person with dementia, built around an active day which might be at home or out and about in the local community, and sometimes meeting up with others who have similar difficulties. You can read more about what we do in How We Can Help. Just recently, we have decided that it would serve the needs of our clients best if we became a charity, and to that end we have become a company and registered with the Charities Commission. We now have a solid team and a group of trustees with a very substantial expertise and experience of health and social care in Essex. We want to make a real difference to the lives of families living with dementia and with your help, your interest and involvement, we will. Essex Dementia Care is registered in England and Wales. Company No. 06820425.
