💚 September marks World Alzheimer’s Month, and this year’s message is an important one.

"The Earlier You Know, The More You Can Do. A Diagnosis Matters."

For many families, noticing changes in someone they love can bring a lot of uncertainty.

Is it normal forgetfulness? Should we be concerned? Who should we speak to? What happens if it is Dementia?

Seeking professional advice can help families understand what may be happening, access appropriate support and begin making informed decisions about the future.

At Home Instead - West Lancashire and Chorley, we support people living with Dementia and the families around them, helping individuals continue living in familiar surroundings with care shaped around their own routines, preferences and needs.

Throughout September, we’ll be sharing practical Dementia information, answering common questions and highlighting useful sources of support.

If you’re worried about changes in someone’s memory or behaviour, your GP is an important first point of contact.

You don’t have to have everything worked out before asking for help 💚

With dementia, you never know what’s coming next.

A new symptom. A new challenge. A new situation. A new worry. They can come at any time.

That's why Dementia UK is here every day. We’re here by phone, online and in communities. At weekends and in the evenings too, because dementia never takes a day off.

Throughout World Alzheimer's Month, we'll be sharing how we're here for you, how you can be there for others, and recognising those who have been there all along. 💙

September is World Alzheimer’s Month. 💜

Throughout the month, we’ll be shining a light on dementia carers - from the challenges they face, the support they need to why their voices matter.

Dementia carers should never feel invisible or alone.

To mark the start of World Alzheimer’s Month, we’re also sharing a new blog exploring the campaign and why recognising and supporting carers matters.
