At Later Living Helpline, we are passionate about raising awareness of small, local charities that make a huge difference in their communities. One of these is Essex Dementia Care, an organisation that has been supporting families across Essex for over fifteen years.
Unlike large national organisations, Essex Dementia Care is a local charity, rooted in the community and delivering services tailored to the needs of people living with dementia and their carers.
💙 What They Do
Essex Dementia Care offers a range of services designed to help people with dementia live active, fulfilling, and independent lives for as long as possible.
One2One “Memory Companion” Service
Tailored to each person’s personality and needs, this service helps maintain independence and well-being. Companions build trust, support daily activities, and provide vital social contact.Activity Groups Across Essex
From Bradwell and Braintree to Sandon, Broomfield, Writtle, and Chelmer in Chelmsford, Essex Dementia Care runs groups to suit different stages of dementia.Every Day Counts groups: active and social for those in the earlier stages.
Oasis groups: calmer, gentler sessions for those whose dementia has progressed further.
Support for Carers
Caring for a loved one with dementia can be overwhelming. By keeping people engaged and active, Essex Dementia Care provides families with much-needed respite, knowing their loved one is in safe hands.
This approach has proven invaluable, often helping people to stay out of full-time care for longer while maintaining existing skills and even developing new ones.
🌟 Why Essex Dementia Care Matters
Essex Dementia Care is a reminder of how important local charities are. Their services don’t just support individuals living with dementia — they strengthen families, reduce isolation, and bring communities together.
These are the charities that often work quietly in the background, yet their impact is enormous.
