 Symptoms of dementia 

Why it's important to get a diagnosis

 Age UK helps older people with a wide range of services, including free advice on benefits, money, and legal matters, and practical support such as home help, personal care, and foot care. They also offer social opportunities through local cafes, exercise classes, and activities, and can help with things like digital skills, handyperson tasks, and dementia support.  

 A Power of Attorney (PoA) in the UK is a legal document that allows you to give trusted people (called attorneys) the authority to make decisions on your behalf, particularly if you lose mental capacity in the future. There are two main types: a Lasting Power of Attorney (LPA) for financial and property matters or health and welfare decisions, and a less common Ordinary Power of Attorney (OPA) for temporary financial needs. To be valid, you must have the mental capacity to make the decision to set it up, and you can cancel it at any time while you are able.
