Age UK Devon - Enabling and Home Support Service
This service offers support and practical help to older people, including those with dementia, to help maintain their independence at home.
Dementia Friendly Honiton
Dementia Friendly Honiton is a local community group working to make Honiton a welcoming and supportive place for people living with dementia and their carers. The group raises awareness and helps local shops, services, and organisations become more understanding of dementia by offering advice and training. They support activities like memory cafés, carer groups, and other inclusive events where people can feel safe, connected, and involved. Their goal is to help people with dementia stay active and included in everyday life, and to encourage the whole community to play a part in making Honiton more dementia friendly.

Dementia Carer Support Consultations
Two hour one-to-one or small family consultations delivered in person or via video call, offering a dedicated space to explore your individual concerns, deepen your understanding of dementia, and feel more informed about the support and services available. Together, we’ll also look at planning ahead to help reduce the likelihood of reaching a crisis point.
Following the consultation, you’ll receive a personalised reflective support guide with tailored recommendations and gentle signposting to relevant organisations and resources.
These consultations can be valuable both before and after a dementia diagnosis, when life can feel overwhelming and navigating the health and social care system can become challenging.
My aim is to work alongside you as a trusted extension of your support network, bringing compassion, understanding, and meaningful connection into everyday life, while helping you feel more informed, confident and prepared for the future.
