About us
Alzheimers Whanganui takes a positive approach to living with dementia/mate wareware. We focus on what a person is still able to do rather than what has been lost. We are the only organisation in Whanganui, Rangitīkei and Waimarino solely dedicated to making life better for all people affected by dementia/mate wareware – Kia piki te ora mo nga tangata mate pōrewarewa. Our Support service involves working with the person with dementia/mate wareware, the main carer; the extended family/whānau and the community.
