Dementia Awareness in Epsom & Dorking
Dementia affects thousands of families across Surrey. In Epsom and Dorking, we’re fortunate to have a strong network of community initiatives dedicated to supporting people living with dementia and their families.
What are the symptoms of dementia?
Dementia often begins with small changes: forgetting appointments, losing track of conversations, or becoming overwhelmed in busy environments. These signs can be easy to miss, but early recognition allows families to access support sooner, which will improve long‑term wellbeing and reducing the risk of crisis situations.
Our Care Professionals at Home Instead Epsom & Dorking receive advanced dementia training that helps them spot these early indicators and respond with sensitivity. They understand the emotional impact on families and work closely with them to create personalised care plans that evolve as needs change.
A Community That Cares
Epsom and Dorking is striving to be a more dementia-friendly community. A wonderful, local initiative is the Epsom & Ewell Dementia Hub. This is a safe space for people who have dementia, whereby an extensive programme of activities helps promote mental and physical wellbeing.
With local dementia champions, community initiatives, and dedicated Care Professionals, Epsom and Dorking are becoming places where people living with dementia can continue to thrive.
