Dementia-specific palliative care program

Café-style support programs

If you enjoy talking to others who are also affected by dementia, you might like to sign up for our café support programs. These programs give people caring for someone with dementia an opportunity to connect over coffee in casual setting.

Programs to keep your mind active 

If you have dementia, it’s important to keep your mind active to maintain health and wellbeing. You can exercise the mind by doing things you find challenging or trying new activities. Our programs help you flex your capabilities, practise your skills, engage with your community, and make new friends at the same time.
