My wife was diagnosed with early stage alzheimers June 2023 and we were introduced to North Ayrshie dementia support service in early November 23. The 2 members of the dementia support team, Katrina & Lauren, visited weekly and gave us useful advice and information re the service available. In addition they individually took my wife out for a couple of hours for coffee or a walk and also introduced her to the Burns Activity Centre in preparation for her getting a day placement there which has now happened. Whilst both staff members were excellent in their treatment of her and most helpful to me with their advice we have subsequently discovered that Katrina in particular championed my wife in the process of being allocated the place at the Burns Centre where she has now been attending weekly for the last 3 weeks. This has definitely eased the pressure on both of us and allowed me to attend to personal business without the worry of her care.
We can only commend both members of staff for their kindness and the very professional manner in which they delivered their expertise.
