Providing support

Many people with dementia live well with memory loss and with appropriate help and support it is possible for them to continue the activities they have always enjoyed. However, small changes to a person’s routine may help in ensuring an enjoyable and independent life. 

Pharmacies will support a range of people at different stages of dementia, from those who are independent, living at home and still working to those who may require more support and care. Pharmacy professionals can make many positive interventions and offer useful advice to people living with dementia and their carers.
