Young onset dementia
Young onset dementia is a service in Rotherham and Doncaster
The young onset dementia service offers assistance and evaluation upon referral from primary care for adults under 65 displaying symptoms of dementia.
Our focus is on supporting younger patients and their families dealing with dementia onset before the age of 65.
How we can help
Our services encompass:
- assessment
- counselling
- continual support
- guidance for employers, occupational health, and personnel staff
We collaborate to aid this demographic, facing unique challenges like maintaining employment, managing financial responsibilities such as mortgages, or caring for young children.
How to get help
Referrals primarily originate from the patients GP. This allows the GP to conduct initial investigations, ruling out other potential causes for memory or cognitive issues, such as different mental health conditions, menopause symptoms, or substance misuse.
