Dementia - Support for Carers - Louise (27th Aug 2020 07:33:17)
Are there any groups in Liphook for people who care for loved ones with Dementia? I think it would help my father to chat to others in a similar situation.
Thank you

Hi Louise,
I know there are carers groups but I’m not sure if they are specifically dementia related? The local contact details in the community magazine are:
My mum who had vascular dementia is now flying with the angels as of February but having cared for her I do understand the difficulties and stresses that come with this dreadful disease. I would be more than happy to meet for a cuppa with you & your dad if you feel this would be helpful.
Note to the editor please pass on my email address to Louise.

Liphook Carers Group welcomes all Carers but we do have a number of Carers who are dealing with dementia and sharing often helps. We normally meet on the first Wednesday of the month 10am - noon in the Millennium Hall but we are currently holding socially distanced meetings in the garden there. For more details feel free to contact Sonia on 01428 288913

I am one of the managers at Liphook Day Centre, based from the Peak Centre in the Midhurst Road Car park.
We sadly have been closed due to the current pandemic but are re-opening as a day centre to 10 clients as of Wednesday and Thursday next week.
we offer respite to those with onset dementia from 10;30am to 3:00pm on these days and we have a few limited spaces available if you are interested. The fee is £15 per day and they will receive company, reassurance, a host of activities and a home cooked meal.
Please contact me on 01428 724941 or 07724333730 for further information
