Community Support
Telephone Support Line
Dementia Matters Here has a telephone support line for people worried about their memory, or dementia, their carers and family members across Herefordshire. The support line is open Mon – Fri, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Ring us on 01432 804480 to speak to an adviser.
Carer’s Support Groups
Carers can get together to socialise and share experiences, information and advice, alongside gaining support and education from a member of the DMH team. We hold face to face carer’s support groups and an online group which meets bi-weekly on a Tuesday evening at 7.30 p.m.
Herefordshire Memory Cafés
Memory Cafés are a comfortable, social gathering that allow people experiencing memory loss and a loved one to connect, socialise, make new friends, and build support networks. Our Memory Cafés run for two hours with the first hour being together to enjoy a cuppa, piece of cake, chat and activity or talk, and the second hour for carers to be able to access a carers support session, whilst the person they care for is supported to take part in activities of their choice.
One to One Support
Home visits or phone calls can be arranged to offer assessment of need, advice and information, and for signposting to available services. We also have a befriending service, with volunteers providing friendship and support.
