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, Rangitikei and Waimarino solely dedicated to making life better for all people affected by dementia – Kia piki te ora mo nga tangata mate pōrewarewa. Our Support service involves working with the person with dementia, the main carer; the extended family/whānau and the community.
