'Turning things around' – Dementia together podcast January 2024


Listen Later

For our latest Dementia together podcast we spoke to brothers Adam and Neil Joesbury and their dad Bob, in Birmingham.
Bob has vascular dementia and the family works together to support each other.
Adam has a learning disability and cares for Bob. This means Neil can continue to go to work and all three can be independent.
At first, it was difficult to find the right support for Adam. He knew something was wrong with his dad, but found it difficult to understand.
This changed when a dementia adviser from Alzheimer's Society gave him the support he needed.
Since then, Adam has been using his voice to try to change things for the better for carers with a learning disability – he doesn’t want anyone to face the same challenges he did.
Your donations play a vital role in ensuring people affected by dementia are aware of the services offered by Alzheimer’s Society, especially in what is a difficult time for everyone. To donate, visit alzheimers.org.uk/give or call 0330 333 0804.
