Last week, @KerryMP visited Riversway Nursing Home and saw firsthand the incredible care and support provided by #dementia specialist Admiral Nurse Jakki.

Thank you Kerry for your ongoing support. Together, we can help ensure no one faces dementia alone. 💙

We know that many people receive little to no practical support after a dementia diagnosis. 💙

If you live with #dementia, or care for someone who does, what's the best practical tip you can share? 👇

@StFual Sorry to hear about your experience. We're here for you if you ever need advice or support: https://t.co/xlvIFhHiC1. - Holly

When the NHS continuing healthcare (CHC) funding process fails, the emotional and financial pressure can fall on families who are already facing significant challenges navigating dementia.

It doesn’t have to be this way.

Join us and call on the Health Secretary @YvetteCooperMP to fix NHS continuing healthcare. Sign our petition today: https://t.co/7HVQrGNT9n

Did you spot @Hannahdementia on @BBCTheOneShow last night? 📺 She joined The Traitors' Rachel Duffy to talk about why it's so important to have conversations with children about #dementia.

The segment featured a new board game from @LivUni and @lbsorg, designed to help families start those conversations.

“We’re on a journey with Maureen, and I know the next phase will be difficult. It’s reassuring to know that the Admiral Nurses will be there for us when we reach that stage. I would recommend an appointment to anyone who needs support.” - Tina.

We’ve partnered with @AskNationwide to deliver #dementia clinics for its staff and members of the public.

Today, carers Lesley, Clare, Trish and Julie attended an event where @andyburnham, @YvetteCooperMP and Baroness Casey discussed the urgent need for social care reform.

Baroness Casey also launched the 'Big Conversation on Care', an important opportunity to hear directly from people who use social care and the families who support them. 💬
