SERVICES

Thoughtful care, support that feels like home

Bringing joy, connection, and support to those facing dementia, isolation, loneliness, anxiety, and depression, along with the carers who support them.

A Different Kind of Dementia Support

At Active Minds, we see the person, not the condition. We support individuals living with dementia, social isolation, loneliness, anxiety, and depression by honoring their stories, experiences, and potential for connection.

Our approach goes beyond clinical care. Through creative activities, shared meals, and meaningful conversation, we nurture purpose, dignity, and emotional well-being every day.

Our team is committed to creating a compassionate space where every person feels valued, understood, and truly seen.

A Day at
Active Minds Centre

Start the day with comfort and care, and enjoy a schedule designed to nourish both body and soul.

Start the day gently with a light yet satisfying breakfast, designed to nourish and energize. We offer a variety of wholesome options such as warm porridge, fresh fruit, toast, cereals, and a choice of hot or cold beverages. Everything is served in a calm, welcoming environment to help everyone ease into the morning comfortably.

To keep energy levels steady and spirits uplifted, we provide a delightful selection of mid-morning snacks. These might include biscuits, fruit slices, cheese and crackers, or yogurt. These light bites give members a small boost while encouraging social interaction and friendly conversation.

Lunchtime is a highlight of the day. It features a freshly prepared, nutritious three-course meal that balances taste, health, and cultural preferences. Guests enjoy a starter, hearty main course, and a comforting dessert. The meal is served in a warm, relaxed setting that feels more like a social gathering than a service.

Later in the day, we offer another opportunity to recharge with mid-afternoon snacks. Whether it’s a slice of cake, a cup of tea, or a savory nibble, this is a chance to refresh while enjoying casual moments with friends. Snacks are often paired with music, games, or a relaxing group activity.

Each day is filled with meaningful activities designed to match the interests, cultural backgrounds, and abilities of our members. Activities may include arts and crafts, gentle exercise, music sessions, gardening, and storytelling. Every experience is created to promote joy, movement, connection, and a sense of purpose in a supportive and inclusive space.
