This venture is a partnership between Nationwide and Dementia UK, offering 45-minute appointments with a dementia specialist nurse in their branches. The dementia specialist nurses, called Admiral Nurses, can offer advice to families and carers about :
+ worries about memory problems and other possible symptoms of dementia
+ how to get a diagnosis
+ understanding the diagnosis and how the condition progresses
+ practical tips for caring for someone who lives with dementia
+ adapting to and coping with changes in behaviour
+ financial and legal issues
+ transitions in care, including moving into residential care
+ emotional support, including anticipatory grief, bereavement and loss
Nationwide branches offer a safe, comfortable and private space for families to discuss any aspect of dementia, which aims to help 100,000 people affected by dementia.
As part of the partnership, Nationwide will host 200 pop-up clinics in branches around the UK, and the building society will fund 30 dementia specialist Admiral Nurse posts through Dementia UK.
