Dementia Specialists
We support people with dementia to continue to live within the community. We facilitate and promote choice, dignity and respect. Our services are inclusive and celebrate individuality while respecting diversity.
The people we support come from a wide variety of cultural, linguistic, ethnic and social backgrounds and so do our staff. Our fully qualified and experienced team prides itself on providing a high quality service to people, families and carers living with dementia.
We offer also cognitive stimulation therapy. This evidence based programme helps people with milder dementia to maintain their every day skills, independence and involvement in life.
