Derby City Dementia Service

If you live in the Derby City area and you, or a member of your family, or a person you care for, experience the symptoms of dementia, then Making Space is here to help you live an active and fulfilled life.

We have a clear vision – you have a right to continue doing what you have always done, for as long as possible.

There are three strands to our Derby Dementia service in which we will work with you to help meet your needs and to look after your health and wellbeing:

Strand 1 - Support: Making Space will get to know you as an individual and, together with support from your family members and carers, we will recommend the support you need to live a full life

Strand 2 - Information: Carers make a massive contribution to society and Making Space believes they deserve every support in understanding more about dementia and the skills they might need to cope. We help carers develop strategies which enable them to look after their loved ones at home for longer

Strand 3 - Peer Support: The Making Space Peer Support Service is all about bringing people together to share their experiences and encourage each other to live safely and healthily and to make informed choices about their on-going care and support.

It has three clear elements: Dementia Cafés, Carer Support and Befriending.
