Dementia Buddy at Home

You will support people living with dementia in their own home by: 

• Being a regular friendly visitor to their home.
• Providing them with good company.
• Chatting, playing games, doing quizzes or puzzles together.

. joining in other at home activities of interest to individual older people.

Being an Age UK Tameside Dementia Buddy at Home Volunteer is a great way to support someone living with Early Onset Dementia to feel connected to their community, reduce loneliness and social isolation.

Please note that volunteers will need to spend time with our Dementia Activity Group before working in the community and undertake specialist training.
