AdaptDementia Ltd was founded by two health professionals with years of direct experience working in dementia care and support.
We especially want to allow families living with dementia to be better informed and to have a wide choice of support. We believe strongly that everyone has the right to choose for themselves the therapies, support options and lifestyle that suits their own experience of dementia. For us there is no ‘one size fits all’ solution.
