Dementia group set up in Portsmouth to help patients
ELDERLY people suffering from dementia in Portsmouth can get help from two organisations that have teamed up with a charity.
Age UK Portsmouth is working with The National Development Team for Inclusion and Innovations in Dementia.
Together they have created group Circles of Support.
The aim is to work directly with people who have dementia and their families and provide support for them.
Dianne Sherlock, chief executive of Age UK Portsmouth said: ‘When people develop dementia they often find their networks getting smaller, with families and friends being unsure about how they could help.
‘As a result many people with dementia can miss out on opportunities for support and advice and become isolated.
‘We’re really excited to be working on this project and feel it will help us to discover how we can support people with dementia to live well.’

Friday, January 20, 2012 at 10:14 AMDementia in all it's forms is a very evil disease, anything created to help anyone dealing with that awful situation is great news. Also knowing that Harry Sotnick House is now available when things get too tough must be a great relief, visited it this week and was really impressed with all I saw whether private sector or pcc, that is one much needed and finally here in Portsmouth place.
