If a person with dementia needs support or their family member needs a break from their caring role, a social worker can refer the person to Age Concern dementia services. 

Staff in Age Concern will speak to the person and will agree if they could be supported to be active in their community or if they have a greater need, whether going to the day care service at Haven Court would be better for them.
