Alzheimer's and Dementia Support Services

Who we are

Alzheimer’s and Dementia Support Services are Kent’s biggest independent charity dedicated to providing support to people affected by dementia.  Working within the Dartford, Gravesham and Swanley area since 1991 we have a local reputation for providing excellence in dementia support and care which is testament to the hard work and dedication of our Board of Trustees, management, staff and volunteers.  The charity was previously registered under charity number 1024385, prior to incorporation in 2017.

We are the local specialist dementia service and we empower people affected by dementia to carry on their chosen lifestyle. We equip people with the knowledge and practical support to live with dementia.

People affected by dementia are at the heart of everything we do and are encouraged to be involved with our services, at all levels, enabling us to offer unique and bespoke support.

Alzheimer’s and Dementia Support Services is a local charity which allows us to focus our support carefully to the needs of the local community and each and every person we support.  If you would like to know more about how we can help you contact us. 

Where we work

We provide services across Gravesham, Dartford and Swanley.  Our hub, Safeharbour Memory Wellbeing Centre, is based in Northfleet.  We have a variety of community based groups and activities taking place throughout the area we work in as well as supporting people in their own homes. 

We are always looking to develop our services and work in partnership with others and therefore are not restricted to working in just Gravesham, Dartford and Swanley.  We are currently offering a Dementia Buddy scheme at Medway Maritime Hospital.
