About us

We provide support services to people with dementia and their carers, family and whanau. Based in Whakatane, our team is passionate about and committed to empowering and enabling all people in the Eastern Bay Of Plenty affected by dementia. Alzheimers and other dementias can be very isolating and distressing diseases, and it is extremely important that people realise they do not have to travel this journey alone.
