Dementia advice
From the moment you receive an early diagnosis to learning to live well with dementia, we’re here to support you every step of the way. That’s why we’ve produced ‘One step at a time’, a video guide to navigating dementia, introduced by broadcaster and Alzheimer's Society ambassador, Angela Rippon.
Our guide consists of three short videos aimed to help and support family carers and people living with dementia to understand how they can live well at every stage of their journey.

It’s possible to live well with dementia, and in this video, Care UK’s experts share advice on how to do just that throughout the stages of dementia.
As the dementia progresses, you may find yourself struggling with your own wellbeing or with feelings of depression or guilt. Caring for yourself is just as important as caring for your loved one living with dementia. In this video, our dementia experts discuss how to look after yourself and what sources of support are available.
