Story
We are Dementia UK the specialist dementia nurse charity.
Our nurses, known as Admiral Nurses, who we continually support and develop, provide life-changing care for families affected by all forms of dementia including Alzheimer's disease.
Our nurses are here when people need help. They have the time to listen and the knowledge to solve problems. As dementia specialists, Admiral Nurses help families manage complex needs considering the person living with dementia and the people around them and they can advise other healthcare professionals.
For families affected by dementia, they can be a lifeline.
When people are struggling, our nurses help them take back control. They help people living with dementia to stay independent for longer, and support the people caring for them so they have the strength to cope with the bad days, and the energy to enjoy the good days.
We believe Admiral Nurses give people the quality of care that we would all want for ourselves and our loved ones and were working hard to increase the number of nurses across the UK so no one has to face dementia alone.
