Support
Frontotemporal dementia
Living with frontotemporal dementia can be very difficult. Many people affected by the disease may have jobs, family and financial responsibilities.
In this section:
What care and support is available for people affected by frontotemporal dementia (FTD)?
As well as supporting the person with FTD, it’s important that family and carers can also access practical and emotional support for themselves.
Rare Dementia Support runs national groups providing support and information for people with FTD, their families and carers. Contact details can be found online at raredementiasupport.org
The Rare Dementia Support Network were vital in supporting me following my mum's diagnosis of FTD.
