East Devon Dementia Map
One Eastern Devon and Age UK Exeter have
been working together to create the Eastern Devon Dementia Map, a centralised,
easy to navigate resource that brings together local dementia services,
community groups, voluntary sector support, wellbeing activities, and key
contacts.

The map is designed to make signposting easier and more consistent, ensuring patients and carers can quickly access the support they need.
