Moving to Gloucester

[Tala]

My husband has bv Frontotemporal Dementia. He is 62. I am thinking to move to Gloucester area. Does anyone know what support is like for dementia in that area, please?

Hi Tala and welcome to TP.

I'm sorry to read about your husband's diagnosis. I have no personal knowledge of that area but thought you might be best to contact the local Alzheimer Society. You should be able to find the contacts through this link -

Thanks Izzy. I spoke to Altzheimer's help line a few days ago, and they suggested putting a comment on here to see if anyone from Gloucester had any views on dementia support. They were themselves very helpful. Trouble for me and my husband is that we will be moving to UK after being away for 15 years. So will have to get used to a different way of life again, and look after my husband. Hopefully there will be a day centre he can attend one morning a week just for him to have a change of scenery and for me to get a couple of hours where I don't have to be on the go and have eyes in the back of my head to see what he is up to next!
Are you caring for a relative, or do you work as a carer? Just wondering.
