Have you watched our new videos for carers series? These videos have been created with carers, for carers - to ensure the videos truly reflect the real-life experiences of carers, we worked closely with a focus group of family carers to refine the content.
Every participant said they would recommend the series to others, sharing feedback such as:
“I wish these videos had been around when I found out about my partner’s dementia.”
“This is such helpful, caring advice… We’d be lost without Dementia Jersey.”
You are not alone. This video series is here for you 24/7 – free, practical support from experts.

Video Spotlight: Understanding and supporting behaviour changes in dementia
As dementia progresses, you might notice changes in a person’s behaviour - perhaps more anxiety, restlessness, or repeated questions. These changes can be confusing or upsetting, both for the person living with dementia and for those who care for them.
In our latest video, Diane from Dementia Jersey explores how these behaviours often reflect unmet needs or emotions — and how you can respond with empathy and understanding.
Watch now to learn practical ways to support calm, connection, and comfort in everyday care: https://youtu.be/yeihYPMLw-s?si=XrQYvI56BK-5p5li
