Admiral Nurses help people living with dementia stay independent for longer and support the people caring for them so that they will have the strength to cope with the bad days, and the energy to enjoy the good days.

As dementia specialists, Admiral Nurses help families manage complex needs, considering the person living with dementia and the people around them.

When people are struggling, our nurses help them take back control. When friends and family are worried about a loved one, they give them the confidence to manage their future with dementia.

Admiral Nurses run Dementia Helpline and Clinic appointments.
