Essex Dementia Care

About

Essex Dementia Care is a small local Essex based charity with over fifteen years’ experience helping people with dementia continue to live active and fulfilling lives.

Their One2One ‘Memory Companion’ service is tailored to the individual’s personality and needs, enabling them to maintain a sense of well-being and independence for as long as possible. They also run several activity groups that are designed to support different stages of the dementia journey within a social setting. Their services have proven invaluable for providing care givers with much-needed respite too.

The ’Every Day Counts’ groups support people in the earlier stages of dementia whilst the Oasis groups have a less hectic schedule suited to those whose dementia has progressed further. Activity groups are held at Bradwell, Braintree and at Sandon, Broomfield, Writtle and Springfield in Chelmsford.

They offer a free ‘Taster Day’ for new clients at their activity centres or alternatively a free two-hour One2One session.

They provide one-to-one support for people with dementia as well as providing respite and emotional support for their main care-givers. They have activity centres in Braintree, Chelmsford and Southend-on-Sea, providing stimulating and supportive environments for those with dementia and their carers.
