Dementia Support
September is Dementia Awareness Month and, to mark this, we are informing residents about the services we offer to help you or a loved one that is living with dementia.
Home Improvement Agency
Firstly, our Home Improvement Agency (HIA) can assist residents in accessing dementia support funding for modifications and equipment such as:
- Labels and signs on doors and cupboards
- Task focussed lighting on bathrooms and kitchens
- Assistive technology, e.g. to provide reminders and to monitor activity
- Safer flooring
- Decoration to improve contrast between walls and floors
- Coloured fixtures to create a contrast for items like toilet seats and grab rails
Contact the HIA today to find out if you’re eligible by emailing
HIA@epsom-ewell.gov.uk or calling 01372 732000.
For more information on the service, please visit our website.
Dementia Hub
We also offer respite care via our Dementia Hub.
Our specialist team run a programme of daily activities and therapies, helping clients develop skills which improve their quality of life.
The programme of activities at the Dementia Hub helps daycare clients grow confidence, build muscle strength, and encourages social interaction which helps combat feelings of isolation, loneliness, and depression.
Full and half day sessions are available for people aged 50+ living with memory loss, dementia, confusion due to medical conditions such as a stroke, conditions such as Parkinson’s Disease, and more.
The team will support the management of incontinence and administration of medication.
To book a free assessment and find out about additional support, please visit our website.
