Alzheimer's & Dementia Support Services

Who we are

About Alzheimer’s & Dementia Support Services

We are an award-winning Kent charity and have an ambitious five year strategy that aims to reach more people and respond to the changing landscape for people affected by dementia. The past few years have brought about rapid growth and exciting new programmes of work. The charity’s 30-year history and reputation for excellence enables it to empower and support people living with dementia to live their chosen lifestyle.  We equip people with the knowledge and practical support to live with dementia.

Purpose

Too many people affected by dementia do not get the vital social care, support, and guidance they need. We use our person-centred experience of dementia to define and implement social care services, from diagnosis to end of life, that reduce the devastating impact the disease can have.

Vision

Everyone living with dementia, in Kent and Medway, gets the support they need to live the life they want.

Mission

Our mission is to give people affected by dementia the knowledge, support and care they need to take back control of their lives, take part in family and community life and manage their symptoms.

Values

We believe:

• That everyone’s rights and dignity should be promoted.
• In being person centred and focused on people’s abilities.
• In being inclusive and embracing everyone in our community.
• In working together to deliver excellence in the information, support and services we provide.
• In being caring and compassionate in all we do.
• In acting with integrity and honesty at all times.
