Alzheimers Society Merton Dementia Hub

Alzheimer’s Society provides locally based services in a purpose-built, ground floor Hub with a dementia-friendly design, including bright, identifiable areas to help people who may have memory problems feel relaxed and welcome.

  • Benefits and allowances that you may be entitled to
  • Benefits, support and respite breaks for carers
