"Support following Dementia Diagnosis"

About: Lanarkshire Community Services / Old Age Psychiatry

(as a carer),

From initial assessment to Diagnosis and treatment we have been fully supported to understand more about Dementia. We have been given the tools and techniques to cope with the impact it has on our lives.

The staff are all very professional and caring, in particular Dr Carlin for the assessment and diagnosis and then Wilma and Alison at the Post Diagnostic Support Clinic and Jo for the follow up and treatment at home.

They have given both my mum and I links into our local community voluntary groups that have really had an impact on both of us.

They are an amazing team and we could not have asked for better care at a difficult time.

Dear Yves

I'm sorry to hear that your mum and the family have had to deal with her diagnosis of dementia and realise that this must be a difficult time for you all. I am however pleased that you received the support and care from the doctor and nurses mentioned and as their manager I will be sure to pass on your thanks directly to them. NHS Lanarkshire staff are always delighted to receive positive feed back from patients and carers so thank you so much for taking the time to provide this.

I do hope that your mum and the family will continue to access supports available to support her ongoing treatment and care,enabling her to live safely and optimally with dementia.

Kind Regards

Tricia
