Welcome to TP Sara
As Pete says help is a postcode lottery so you have to see what's available in your location, me telling you about what's available where I live isn't much help and even though it's early days for you the more you find out now the easier it will be when you have a problem.
Obviously your local AZ society is a good place to start, AGEUK and CAB are good too it's about networking at a local level, go to the dementia cafes and speak to people, not just the staff but anyone who's there because you'll all be in the same boat.
People with memory issues can become very introspective so if you can get her going to places like a dementia café, day centre or whatever is available and make it part of her life now there's more chance she will continue to go and not pull back into her shell the way that so many people do as they decline.
