Welcome to Positive About Dementia
Positive About Dementia is a window onto some of the latest approaches to dementia care being developed by the St Monica Trust for people living with dementia in a residential care environment.
If you are caring for a relative who lives with Alzheimer’s disease or another form of dementia, are a professional working in the field of elderly care or someone interested in working in an environment designed to maximise fulfilment and quality of life for people with dementia, we hope our experiences in evolving our long-term care solutions and specialist dementia care environments will prove both positive and enlightening.
