About Hulp bij Dementie

About three thousand people with dementia live in the municipality of Utrecht, a large part of them still live at home, often with their partner or with the help of the children. Help with Dementia links volunteers to people with dementia and/or to the family who care for them. The volunteer helps them by being there: offering company or a listening ear makes all the difference for the person with dementia and the carer.
If you register as a volunteer, we will first make an appointment to get to know you. We also discuss your wishes, such as in which part of the city you want to work and what you would prefer to do with your client. If you are still enthusiastic, you will follow a short education about dementia and we will ensure a good match. We will then agree that you will visit your client for at least six months. During your work with us, you can always contact us with your questions.
