Sight & Mind CIC support people post diagnosis of Dementia and/or Sensory impairment following referrals from Statutory and Non-Statutory Services and other organisations including carers and other family members, friends and colleagues.
We walk side by side, through the maze to ensure our clients and their families never feel a sense of isolation . We seek to help our clients regain a sense of control in their journey.
We support the cared for and carers directly who are experiencing little or no support from other services as would be expected. Unfortunately, there is still a lot if fear and mistrust by individuals and family members who may think that if they reach out and ask for help that their loved ones could be taken away and placed elsewhere, therefore no longer being cared for by usually spouse and some family members as they have previously supported their care.
We have many referrals especially for those literally at crisis, given the complexity of their care needs it does take a significant amount of time to assess the needs of the cared for and then the carer, to then identify and prioritise the assessed needs.
We are totally person/family centre, with each case being unique.
