Our care & support We can help if... you have dementia I have dementia Many people do not realise that dementia is a progressive condition that cannot be cured, and that people with dementia will have a shortened life span. The care of someone with advanced dementia at the end of life is aimed at keeping him or her as comfortable and pain free as possible. At Mountbatten, we support people with advanced dementia and their families by providing high quality end of life care wherever they prefer to be; at home, in a care home or in our hospice ward. We work in partnership with health and social care professionals, to equip them with the skills they need to be able to care for people dying with advanced dementia. We offer a wide range of support for people living with dementia and their carers.
