Many of these older people have a dementia diagnosis and the regular contact that this service will bring will make a real difference to their day-to-day life. Older people will ideally benefit emotionally through shared interests and experiences with their matched staff member and also through practical assistance, such as help with transport to Health Services, including GP, dentist and hospital appointments, collection of prescriptions, support to attend appointments, shopping trips and social outings.
