- Ongoing Support: We’re committed to accompanying you on the entire dementia journey, offering continuous assistance and guidance along the way.
- Access to Wider Services: In addition to dementia-specific support, we provide access to a range of other services at St Michael’s Hospice, including counseling, complementary therapy, mindfulness sessions, spiritual care, and hospice-at-home care.
How to access support
We accept referrals for our dementia and wellbeing services from anyone registered with a Herefordshire GP, including:
- Carers of individuals with complex needs related to their caring role.
- Individuals living with dementia with unmet needs related to their diagnosis.
- Those seeking advance care planning support and advice.
Referrals can be made at any stage of the dementia journey, from diagnosis onwards and during times of change or deterioration. Additionally, our services are available for individuals diagnosed with dementia before the age of 65 years, registered with a Herefordshire GP.
