Information

  • Keeping Safe – Everyday Living AdviceA range of topics on everyday life while living with dementia from Alzheimer Scotland
  • Driving and DementiaA diagnosis of dementia does not automatically mean you need to stop driving and many people with dementia are able to continue driving for some time after their diagnosis. There are steps you can take to reduce any risks with driving. You need to inform the DVLA and your insurance following a diagnosis of dementia and further tests can be requested to establish your safety.
  • Power of Attorney and WillsIf a person has dementia, it is important that they organise their financial and legal affairs while they are still able to do so. This ensures that in the future, their affairs will be set up in a way that they have chosen.
