Welcome to Autumn Winds

Welcome to Autumn Winds Dementia Guide

My name is Marina Barker, and I have spent many years supporting people living with dementia and their families.

My Experience

My journey has taken me from working as a carer to owning and running my own care agency. Over the years, I have supported families through many of the difficult and confusing changes dementia can bring.

Although I have now stepped away from running a care agency, I knew I still had more to give. Autumn Winds Dementia Guide grew from that experience.

How I Can Help

Autumn Winds is a place for practical, straightforward information, understanding and support.

You’ll find guidance on things such as memory loss, repetitive questions, sleep disturbance, loss of recognition, changes in behaviour and many other aspects of dementia.

My Role as a Dementia Guide

I am not here to replace doctors or other medical professionals.

I am here as a Dementia Guide — sharing what I have learned through years of experience and helping families understand what may be happening and how they can support the person they love.

Because sometimes understanding why something is happening can make all the difference.
