Essex Dementia Care is a small local Essex based charity with over fifteen years’ experience helping people with dementia continue to live active and fulfilling lives, keeping them out of full time care for longer. As part of the service, EDC also provide valuable support and respite to family carers. Our One2One ‘Memory Companion’ service is tailored to the individual’s personality and needs, enabling them to maintain a sense of well-being and independence for as long as possible. We also run several activity groups that are designed to support different stages of the dementia journey within a social setting. Our services have also proven invaluable for providing care givers with much-needed respite.

The ’Every Day Counts’ groups support people in the earlier stages of dementia whilst the Oasis groups have a gentler schedule suited to those whose dementia has progressed further. Activity groups are held at Bradwell, Braintree and at Sandon, Broomfield, Writtle and Chelmer in Chelmsford. Although EDC do charge for services, the charges do not cover the full cost of providing the service and EDC do ask for support with surplus food and donations to assist with the cost of providing the services. We offer a FREE ‘Taster Day’ for new clients at our activity centres and alternatively a FREE two hour One2One session so that people can see if service is right for them.
