Welcome to Bouncing Back dementia support group!
We are a peer-support and self-help group for people with dementia and Alzheimer's Disease, and their families and carers. If you're looking for a dementia support group in Chester, Cheshire, you've come to the right place.
Living with dementia
There are over 200 different types of dementia, with Alzheimer’s Disease being the most prevalent. It is estimated that a million people in the UK currently suffer from this disease. It is a degenerative disease for which there is currently no cure, but regular physical activity and social engagement such as joining groups, or participating in community activities have been proven to slow the symptoms.
Dementia carer support and respite
Dementia affects whole families – and local carers need support too. Bouncing Back offers essential respite time for carers while their loved ones take part in group activities like singing, pool or games. This gives carers a much-needed break and a chance to recharge.
Carers also benefit from peer support at the group, sharing advice, experiences, and encouragement with others who truly understand the journey.
