Personal interests shape every visit – whether that’s enjoying hobbies at home, tending to the garden, or heading out to favourite local spots like Southsea seafront or Gunwharf Quays. Many of our Care Professionals can drive, making it easier to stay connected with the community. We understand that supporting someone with dementia means adapting activities thoughtfully, while for others, it might mean following specific rehabilitative exercises recommended by healthcare professionals. Each day is tailored to what brings joy and maintains independence.

We have spent a fabulous morning at Spark Community Space today with some of our amazing volunteers attending a Dementia Awareness session delivered by the lovely Helen Brown of Home Instead Portsmouth.
We now have a far better understanding of what dementia can mean [to the person living with dementia] and their loved ones and how we can help then feel welcomed and safe.
