About
Turning Point Young Onset Dementia Service provides short periods of respite to carers of younger people (adults aged 18-65) with dementia. They help by spending time with the dementia service user so that the carer can take time out. The service is designed to complement rather than replace existing respite services. They provide creative and flexible support to assist carers in their role.
Opening times
Monday - Friday 9am - 5pm
Catchment area
Watford, Three Rivers and Hertsmere
Target group
Carers of younger people (adults 18-65 years) with dementia
Further information
They give carers breaks of one to two hours per visit. The duration and frequency of breaks is agreed at the referral stage, but could lead to a short or long term arrangement, depending on the carer's individual needs and circumstances. They visit people in their own homes or meet at community locations across the area. Working together, they design a support package with goals that evolve with people's changing needs and wishes.
Referral method
Referrals are usually made through the Specialist Mental Health Teams for Older People
