Admiral Nursing Service: Southampton and Isle of Wight

About the service

Southampton

Admiral Nurses provide the specialist dementia support that families need. When things get challenging or difficult, our Nurses work alongside people with dementia, their families and carers: giving one-to-one support, expert guidance and practical solutions. The unique dementia expertise and experience an Admiral Nurse brings is a lifeline - it can help families to live more positively with dementia in the present and to face the challenges of tomorrow with more confidence and less fear.

We provide support over the telephone, at your home, and in clinic settings. We also run weekly carer focused Memory Cafes which are open to anyone caring for someone living with dementia. Please contact us for more details.
