My brother-in-law, who is in his late 70's, was diagnosed with Dementia a while ago. He lives with his wife who is now his main carer and they attend a weekly local memory cafe which has been very useful. We live away from them and try to visit on a semi-regular basis to offer support and a little respite for my sister-in-law. My reason to joining the organisation is to try and obtain as much information/contact points/support groups that I can in order to pass on to my sister-in-law.

Welcome @Daisy115 . It is lovely to see someone being so supportive. You will find lots of information that, not only can you pass on to your sister in law, but will also help you understand the effects of dementia. Feel free to ask any questions as there will always be someone who can provide an answer or point you in the right direction, and join in any threads as we are a friendly lot.
