The Care Compass wasn’t started with a business plan. It started in October 2023, when our founder’s dad was diagnosed with cancer while caring for his mum, who was living with dementia, and all the family was given was a leaflet.
What actually happens during a dementia diagnosis — the GP assessment, the ACE-III test, memory clinic scans, and why the process can genuinely take months or years.
If someone with dementia suddenly becomes much more confused or agitated, a UTI is one of the most common, treatable causes. What to look for, what to do at home, and when it's urgent.
Real support for carers looking after a parent and their own children at once.
