North Yorkshire dementia charity, Dementia Forward, and family-run care home, Orchard House, are working together to strengthen support for people living with dementia in Scarborough.

Orchard House specialises in day care, respite care, and long-term care, and the teams are looking at developing these services to include specific support for people living with young onset dementia.

They are also hoping that Orchard House, on Scalby Road, will serve as a hub for families supporting someone with dementia; with resources and education sessions that can help them understand and navigate the complex needs of the person they support.
