Blackpool Council is committed to helping promote information, services and activities available to people living with dementia (and their families and carers), in order to improve their health and wellbeing.
Dementia describes a set of symptoms that may include:
- Memory loss
- Difficulties with thinking, problem-solving or language
These changes are often small to start with, but for someone with dementia they have become severe enough to affect daily life.
Dementia is caused when the brain is damaged by diseases, such as Alzheimer’s Disease or a series of strokes.
