A small army of dementia advisors has been deployed by Surrey County Council to help people with the illness live independently in their own homes.

Specialist advisors are visiting individuals, their carers and families to act as a guide and help them navigate the system to get help or access local services.

They provide information and advice on the choices available to the 14,000 people in Surrey with dementia, including the near 6,000 who are living with the illness but have not been diagnosed.
