Dementia support

If you or a family member has been diagnosed with dementia, we can help you get the support you need.

The Dementia Support Service is provided by the Lincolnshire Partnership Foundation Trust (LPFT).

The service gives you access to a support worker who will provide guidance and advice throughout all stages of your dementia journey.

It also accepts referrals from the public and professionals in health and social care (eg. GP’s).

The service will help you to:

live as well as possible with the condition, promoting wellbeing

live in the local community for as long as possible

understand the diagnosis process and what a diagnosis could mean for them

prevent avoidable admission to long-term residential care or hospital

build resilience and confidence regarding forthcoming stages of the dementia journey

benefit from the range of carers support services to sustain the caring role

navigate the social and health care system

understand the importance of planning for the future and how they can plan for the future early in the dementia journey.

To get in touch with us, email lpft.dementiasupportservice@nhs.net or call 0303 123 4000.
