Carers Referral Form

This referral form, designed for professionals, allows you to connect Carers to essential support from the Memory Navigation Service. It takes just a few minutes to complete, but the difference it can make in the lives of Dementia Carers or individuals living with dementia is immense.

Why Your Referral Matters

Caring for a loved one with dementia can significantly impact the well-being of family members. Carers often find themselves managing a wide range of responsibilities, from medication and medical appointments to personal care and daily tasks, all while ensuring their loved one is safe and well. Many Carers reduce work hours or leave employment entirely to provide care, often relying on limited financial support despite the demanding hours involved. Balancing work and caring can strain their own health and affect family dynamics.

Individuals with memory concerns may hesitate to discuss their worries with loved ones, fearing they will cause unnecessary concern. This, combined with navigating complex support systems, can be challenging and exhausting for both Carers and those affected by memory loss.
