'I always tell people they can call as many times as they like if it helps them get through Christmas. " - Working on the Dementia Support Line
The Dementia Support Line is available for anyone affected by dementia who needs advice or support.
Grace Ryan works as a telephone dementia advisor, offering support and advice to those who phone the support line.
“I have some people who regularly ring up, and it’s so lovely to see the impact my support and advice can have. We get lovely feedback telling us how the information we’ve provided has made a difference.”
She also has a personal connection to dementia and writes about her experiences with her Nanna.

“Being a Dementia Adviser and having a personal connection can sometimes be difficult but I’m lucky to have a supportive team around me, and the calls where I’ve really made a difference help keep me going.”
If you'd like to speak to someone, please consider giving our Dementia Support Line a call. We have a team of dementia advisers who are here to listen, to answer questions and point the way toward local support services. The line is open 9am - 8pm Monday to Wednesday, 9am - 5pm on Thursday and Friday, 10am - 4pm on Saturday and Sunday. The number is 0333 150 3456 (this is a national rate number and should be part of an inclusive national rate minutes allowance on landline or mobile contracts). You can also email them at dementia.connect@alzheimers.org.uk if you prefer.
