Behind every dementia diagnosis, someone else's life changes too.

You can love someone deeply and still feel angry, frustrated, exhausted or desperate for some time to yourself.

You can feel guilty for wanting a break, for losing your patience or for wondering whether residential care might eventually be necessary.

None of those feelings means you care any less.

Sometimes a leaflet, a helpline or being told to look after yourself simply isn’t enough.

As dementia progresses, another worry can start to grow.

If someone’s needs become more complex, questions about care, residential care and who pays for it can be daunting.

NHS Continuing Healthcare, usually called CHC, can fund ongoing care for adults who are assessed as having a primary health need. Eligibility depends on assessed health needs rather than a dementia diagnosis alone.

We can help you understand the process and where to start.

Dementia can change financial circumstances too.

Financial support may be available to the person living with dementia and, depending on the circumstances, to the person caring for them.

MH360 Entitled can help you understand what might be available.

Anxiety. Stress. Grief. Guilt. Sleep. Low mood.

Our Knowledge Library is free to access whenever you need it.

Not everyone caring for someone with dementia will be in a position to fund counselling themselves.

We want that to be a barrier we can help overcome.

Donations to Mental Health 360 help us fund free-to-access counselling for people who otherwise may not be able to afford it, alongside the wider mental health support we provide.

If you’re able to help, your donation can help someone caring for a person with dementia access professional support when they need it.
