Alzheimer Scotland

Hello, I'm Ruth McCabe and I work for Alzheimer Scotland in Fife. Alzheimer Scotland is Scotland's leading specialist dementia charity and we work to improve the lives of everyone affected by dementia.

We provide information and support offering a network of services and support groups for more than 60 sites around Scotland. We also campaign to improve public policies and services for people with dementia and their partners and families.

In Fife, we have a dementia resource centre in Kirkcaldy which is on the concourse of the Kirkcaldy bus station near bus stand number 7. We are open from Monday to Friday 9:00AM to 4:00PM.

If you can, telephone us first to make an appointment and that way we can be sure there will be someone to spend time with you.

In Fife, we have a variety of different services including interest groups for people with dementia, community and home support services, weekend day-care in Kirkcaldy and various support groups.

We also have dementia advisors who can talk to you about anything to do with dementia whether that's how to cope, planning for the future or keeping well. It might be about finding support and services that are right for you, staying active in your community or getting in touch with other people in similar situations.

Anyone can contact us about anything to do with dementia. If you're worried about your memory, if you have a diagnosis of dementia or if you support someone who has dementia then please contact us on 01592 204541.

If you need to speak to someone out of hours you can also contact our 24 hour freephone helpline on 0800 8083000 or visit our website, www.alzscot.org where you can find a large selection of fact-sheets.

We look forward to hearing from you.
