    The Stages of Dementia Care – What to expect

    Before

    You’ll have an assessment by a professional, that takes into account your abilities, needs and wishes. There will be involvement with your family if you wish, in decisions about intermediate care. This includes whether it will be suitable for you and which setting it will be provided in.

     

    Start

    You’ll be given information about the service and what will be involved. You’ll receive support to plan what you are aiming for (your goals) and how to reach them. These discussions can include your family and carers if you wish. You’ll have the opportunity to ask questions.

     

    Receiving

    You’ll receive support from a range of people, including therapists, to help you towards your goals. How long the service lasts may change, depending on the progress you make. Any information you need to help achieve your aims will be written in a way that makes sense to you.

     

    End

    If you need ongoing support, you’ll be given a plan for transferring to another service. Information about other types of support available will be provided. You’ll be given information about how to refer yourself back to the service, if you need to.
