Jewish Care

The Maurice Lawson Dementia Support Service provides individual and group support and advice to those caring for a relative with dementia.

Caring for a relative with dementia is a lonely task. We aim to make it easier by:

• ensuring that carers understand the importance of their role
• helping them cope with the stresses and strains of caring for a loved one 
• helping them understand the illness of the person they care for
• making them aware of the services that are there to help them, and how they might find some relief from their caring role
• ensuring they receive any benefits or entitlements due to them
• providing opportunities for respite care to give carers a break.

We know that we cannot prevent the illness from taking its course but we can support you through this difficult journey by providing:

• practical advice 
• information 
• emotional support 
• advocacy

All of which are delivered with warmth, compassion and sensitivity.
