Carers often feel very isolated, and lacking in "Adult conversation - news, family matters.....) we offer a bespoke service to carers, and one or two people with dementia, where we ring them, to see how they are getting on or just have a chat.

This can help make them feel still part of the outside world, and for some its a life saver.
