Memory loss isn't always a normal part of ageing - sometimes, it's a sign that something isn't quite right.

Every year, nearly 10 million more cases of dementia are diagnosed. Getting an early diagnosis remains crucial, so what are the signs to look out for?

Some key signals include repetitive speech, struggling with conversation and forgetting recent events.

Estimates suggest at least a third of people living with dementia have no diagnosis but it's often the case that families and friends will spot the signs anyway. Either way, we've put together some useful support strategies to help you help your loved one as you travel this journey together.

Are you noticing that a loved one or friend with dementia is struggling with communication?

Are you a caregiver based in Stockport? If you're looking after someone who relies on your help, you're probably in need of some support yourself.

We understand the physical and emotional strain of caring and how it takes its toll. Please remember that self-care isn't selfish - it's essential.

Here are some helpful resources for carers in the borough:

🔵Signpost Stockport for Carers: An independent local charity providing comprehensive support to carers in Stockport, including counselling and advice. Contact them at 0161 442 0442 (8am–2pm, Mon-Fri) or email info@signpostforcarers.org.uk.

🔵Stockport Support Hub: Offers carer assessments to identify support needs, connecting carers to groups and resources. Open Monday to Friday, 8:30am – 4pm (0161 474 1042).

🔵Stockport and District Mind: Offers specialised support services for carers.
Phone 0161 475 6229 (9.00am – 5.00pm Monday to Thursday, and 9.00am – 4.30pm Fridays) or email carerssupport@stockportmind.org.uk.

Remember: you can't pour from an empty cup. Joining a local meeting for peer support or finding out that you're entitled to financial help could make a massive difference to how you feel and your ability to cope in your caregiving role. Don't delay.

Through caring for my own mum on her dementia journey, I know this to be true. It was such a privilege to look after her, just as it is now for us to look after your loved ones with the same level of care that you would yourselves.

If you're looking for something sociable in Stockport, why not give the Dementia Friendly Cafe in Reddish a try?

The cafe operates at St Agnes' Church on Wednesdays from 12-2pm. A 2-course lunch is provided at a cost of £4, followed by a fun activity for everyone to take part in - these often include jigsaw competitions, bingo and playing musical instruments. 🥁

Best of all, it's out of the cold!

We  have a new male support group called Banter and Brews. This group offers members a safe and relaxing space where me can sit, chat and enjoy activities, while having a brew and a biscuit.

Ⓜ️Blue MondayⓂ️

If you're feeling low today you're not alone. Blue Monday has been described as the most depressing day of the year, when the Christmas festivities are over and we're left to deal with the debt hangover.

It's not surprising that many of us start looking for ways to feel happier today: browsing holidays to escape the cold weather or looking for a new job that might reignite our passion for work.

We're fortunate here at Ambiance Care to love what we do every day, and when you love what you do it can make a real difference to your mood.

We're still looking to expand our team, so if you're thinking of a career switch this Blue Monday, why not have a chat with us about becoming a Home Caregiver? You can read more about the role here https://www.ambiancecare.co.uk/join-us/.

Are you passionate, caring and want to make a positive difference in the lives of people living with dementia?

This is something we know to be true. Yes, the mind forgets but the smiles we see show us when we truly touch a person's heart.
