A Treasure Chest of Tips: to help you to keep living as well as you can

From people with dementia, for people with dementia

Are you living with a diagnosis of dementia, or think you may have it?

If you want to learn from and share with others ‘in the same boat’, you’re in the right place!

The website aims to be clear, easy to use, searchable and informative. We’d love you to use it, contribute – and even become a Tip-Sharer yourself!

Finding your way around the site…

We have tried to make this website as accessible as possible. You can increase the size of the words, or if you prefer, you can listen instead of reading (click on tabs at top right of any page). To get back to the Home Page, just click on the Back to Home arrow at the top left of the pages, and to get back to the top of the page, just click on the box at the bottom right of the page.

We need to know which Tips people are finding most useful. So, if you like a Tip, please click on the ‘Like this Tip’ icon.

Expand Text Option

By clicking on one of the three letter A’s that appear at the top of each page you are able to increase (or decrease) the size of the text on any page.

The content of this website is solely and intentionally made up of Tips shared by people with dementia themselves. Innovations in Dementia is not able to take any responsibility for these, or to give ‘professional’ advice, information or sign-posting ourselves.

@Innov_Dementia @IDEALStudyTweet It was an amazing event to celebrate the end of the project! Heading home.. still very emotional… sad that the IDEAL project is over.. inspired by the amazing outcomes we’ve celebrated today… and excited by possibilities for the ‘what next?!?’

At the celebration of completion of the IDEAL project.. so proud to have been part of it!

A wonderful day at the end of @IDEALStudyTweet celebration. The #ALWAYs group of people with dementia and carers has been at the heart of this programme #hope and #change

If there's a carers info course then where's the equivalent for those with the diagnosis?-here it is!
