Strengthening Minds, Building Connections
Families facing dementia need more than medical facts -
they need practical ways to maintain meaningful connections every day.
Connect at Home™ is our 8-week evidence-based program that transforms everyday moments into opportunities for engagement, stimulation, and joy - all within the comfort of your own home
What Connect at Home Is
Evidence-based therapy proven to improve cognition, communication, and reduce anxiety
Self-paced activities designed to fit seamlessly into your life - not another burden on your schedule
Meaningful moments to enjoy when spending time together
Connection-building experiences that translate into daily confidence
A supportive community of families in similar situations through our private online space
Lasting resources including a printed manual and materials you can use again and again
Live Q&A support sessions where your specific questions can be addressed
Before the program begins, families receive a small number of helpful short preparation videos to help them feel ready and confident.
What Connect at Home Is Not
NOT a group program where everyone does activities together online
NOT something that requires travel
NOT tied to specific appointment times (except for optional live Q&A sessions)
NOT dependent on busy mornings or rigid schedules
NOT therapist-led sessions with the person with dementia - YOU guide the activities
The program works because it's flexible, dignified, and focuses on connection and shared discussions, not memory or correctness.
“This is a wonderful program. You really make people feel good about themselves." [program participant]
Why Families Love
Connect at Home™
Connection, Not Correctness: The goal is to share moments, not find the "right answer"
No travel Required: With Connect at Home™, everything happens in the comfort of your own home—no transportation needed! This saves you time, money, and stress, while also ensuring paid support staff can focus on what matters most during sessions.
Confidence for Carers: Clear guidance ensures you know what to do, and why it helps.
Dignity & Respect: Activities honour your loved one's life experience and intelligence.
Social Confidence and Connection: Families often notice improved confidence in conversation, social situations, and shared enjoyment.
"I never would have thought to ask those things - I can see the good this program does now." — Daughter
How It Works
The program includes a thoughtfully designed manual with 20 structured activities that are easy to follow and adapt to the person you support.
Each activity is grounded in research and is designed to support a range of skills, including:
Memory & Recognition
Strengthen recall through personal stories and familiar topics
Communication &
Expression
Supporting confidence in sharing thoughts and opinions
Reasoning
& Thinking
Encourage gentle problem solving and decision making
Creative & Sensory Engagement
Using creativity and the senses to spark interest and enjoyment
Emotional Wellbeing
Supporting reflection, confidence, and emotional connection
Every session is designed to feel natural, enjoyable, and age-appropriate
— never clinical or childish.
In the same way exercise supports the body, Connect at Home™ supports the brain through conversation, curiosity, and participation

✔️ Are living with early to mid stage dementia

Common Concerns...
"Is this program hard enough for my loved one?"
This program was developed by a neurological physiotherapist using evidence-based approaches to cognitive stimulation therapy. It combines clinical expertise with practical, real-world application that families can implement at home. Professionals trust our approach. We have had doctors, engineers, farmers, and people from various professional backgrounds all participated in and enjoyed our programs. A lot of time, thought and expertise has gone into creating a program that is sophisticated and appeals to those accustomed to intellectual engagement while remaining accessible and enjoyable for most.
"I want my loved one to stay socially connected — can a home-based program help with this?"
Strengthening confidence and connection at home can support greater ease and enjoyment in social situations beyond the home. While Connect at Home is delivered one-to-one, evidence shows that structured, supportive engagement at home helps build communication, confidence, and connection — foundations that can support a person’s willingness and enjoyment in broader social or community settings. Families are also supported through caregiver connection to share ideas and explore dementia-friendly groups.
"I don't want to be my loved one's therapist" - We don't want you to be either!
Many families worry about creating a clinical relationship with their loved one. They want to remain a spouse, child, or friend - not become a therapist.
