MHA Communities Cornwall Supporting Dementia Care

At Later Living Helpline, we are proud to highlight organisations delivering vital dementia support in local communities. One such service is MHA Communities Cornwall, part of the national MHA network, which plays a key role in supporting people living with dementia and their families across Cornwall.

Their dementia-friendly groups and activities help reduce loneliness, encourage independence, and provide much-needed support for carers.

💙 Dementia Services in Cornwall

MHA Communities Cornwall runs a range of initiatives designed to improve the quality of life for those living with dementia:

“This is Me” Dementia Support Group – weekly sessions offering a safe, welcoming environment for people with dementia and their carers.
DECAF Memory Café (Saltash) – held twice a month, giving people with dementia the chance to meet others, share experiences, and take part in activities in a friendly setting.
Befriending Services – both face-to-face and by phone, ensuring people who may be isolated still receive regular contact and companionship.

🌟 Why It Matters

The dementia support offered through MHA Communities Cornwall makes a real difference to families. These services help people maintain skills, stay active, and remain part of their community for as long as possible. Carers also gain vital respite, knowing their loved ones are supported in an understanding and safe environment.

By focusing on practical, social, and emotional support, MHA Communities Cornwall provides lifelines that many families depend on every week.

🙌 How You Can Help

We are raising funds to ensure these dementia services in Cornwall continue to thrive. Every donation supports memory cafés, dementia groups, and befriending services that help people remain connected and independent.
