A familiar face, a calm routine, and time for the family too
Living with dementia is easier with the same friendly face each visit. Helping Hands offers one-to-one companionship for people living with dementia in Dorchester and the surrounding villages, in their own home or in a care home. Lorna is a Dementia Friend and has supported families through every stage, from early memory loss to later care.
How we can help
- The same companion each visit, so nothing feels strange
- Gentle conversation, reminiscence and favourite activities
- Meals, drinks and light help around the home
- Walks, outings and appointments with someone alongside
- Reassurance for the family, with an honest update after each visit
- Support that adjusts as needs change
Who we can help
- People living with dementia at home who would enjoy regular company
- Families who live away and worry about a parent on their own
- Care home residents who need one-to-one time
- Partners and carers who need a break (see our respite support)
As one family put it: “Lorna became part of the family in looking after my mother. She gave Mum the best possible life as she slipped into the world of dementia.”
