Rare Dementia Support. Rare Dementia Support Rare Dementia Support offers specialist social, emotional and practical support services for individuals living with, or affected by, a rare dementia diagnosis. Our vision is for all individuals with, at risk of or supporting someone with one of these forms of dementia to have access to information, tailored support and guidance, and contact with others affected by similar conditions.

Northamptonshire Libraries have created a Memory Box toolkit. A memory box is a collection of images, and objects which represent a person's interests and history.  Creating a memory box for someone diagnosed with dementia can have a range of benefits for both the person with dementia and their relatives.

Northamptonshire Libraries also have a reading well for dementia collections which contain sharing books. These books have images in to provoke memories and help someone caring for another with dementia to have reminiscence conversations with them.

Care Choices have produced a practical guide  to living with dementia.

Northamptonshire Police have a scheme called the 'Herbert Protocol ' which can help if a person with dementia goes missing. It gathers all key information about the person that can be shared with national and local agencies.
