Carers Advice

Local Support

Like many organisations, we at Andover Mind are doing our best to respond to the ever changing situation facing us as a result of Coronavirus. The Carer Support and Dementia Advice Service for Hampshire continues to operate remotely and is accepting new referrals. Our staff are carrying out telephone assessments in replacement of face to face appointments and we are making contact via telephone welfare checks and emails to our known service users. Please be reassured that we will continue to do everything we can to help all carers and people with dementia or a long term health condition maintain their well-being at this time.
