In partnership with Alzheimer's Society, the Trust are piloting a new Young-Onset Dementia Support Service for people living in Lincolnshire.
This is initially being piloted in the Boston Primary Care Network area, as we know we have a higher than average diagnosis rate of dementia in people under 65 in this area. We will use the learning from the pilot to support how we can develop and improve dementia services across Lincolnshire, for people under 65 in the future.
About the service
The service is for anyone in Boston aged under 65 who has received a diagnosis of dementia (also known as young-onset dementia) and offers one-to-one support. The service is also available to friends and family members.
We know that a diagnosis at this time of your life can present a range of unique issues and challenges.
The Dementia Advisers provide information, guidance and practical support to help people understand their diagnosis, cope with day-to-day living with dementia and prepare for
the future.
They also support people to connect with other services for support in their local community.
If you have any questions about our service, please call the Alzheimer's Society on 01522 692681 or email lincoln.enquiries@alzheimers.org.uk
