Bolstering support for people living with dementia

Memory Support Hertfordshire is a newly launched community service providing local connection, support, information, and advice for everyone affected by dementia and Mild Cognitive Impairment.

A helpline, an email service and face to face drop-in hubs will ensure residents can find out what they want to know, as well as support people to find and access the full range of community-based, health and social care support available in Hertfordshire.

This new service aims to provide a welcome route for people to access support and guidance more quickly and easily. The service has been co-produced by people who currently use existing dementia support services, so that the varied support on offer meets the needs of those most affected.

Funded by Hertfordshire County Council and the NHS and delivered in partnership by Age UK Hertfordshire, Carers in Hertfordshire and Alzheimer’s Society, Memory Support Hertfordshire is committed to improving support available to people affected by dementia and is aligned to the Hertfordshire Dementia Strategy.
