From pre-diagnosis to end-stage dementia, our approach is holistic, aiming to enhance cognitive, physical, and emotional wellbeing. Our services include Music Therapy, Cognitive Stimulation, physical activities, information and Peer Support.
We strive to reduce isolation, improve the quality of life, and support people in living as well as they can with dementia within their communities. Through partnerships and innovative projects like Music 4 Memory and Hear and Now, we leverage the power of music and creativity to connect and enrich lives. Our efforts are aimed at building a genuinely dementia-friendly community, where everyone’s contribution is acknowledged and celebrated.
