At Absolute Care Therapy, we help people living with dementia strengthen their thinking, communication, confidence, and mood, so they can continue living well and stay connected with the people who matter most.
Our evidence-based approach, The Connect Method™, combines Cognitive Stimulation Therapy (CST) with physiotherapy and neurorehabilitation principles to create therapy experiences that are practical, engaging, and person-centred.
Through conversation, gentle movement, and shared experiences, our programs inspire people to think, engage, and connect - promoting confidence through meaningful interaction and everyday success.
