What is Connect at Home™?
Connect at Home™ is a guided, home-based program based on research and written by a neurological physiotherapist. It supports people living with early–mid stage dementia, alongside the family members or support people supporting them.
The program uses meaningful conversations and shared activities to help strengthen thinking, communication, confidence, and connection in everyday life.
It also supports carers, helping them feel more confident, connected, and supported as they navigate changes together. Connect at Home™ is completed at home, at your own pace, with clear guidance and practical support.
Our program isn't about simple games or small talk about the weather. It's about encouraging your loved one to share their wisdom, life stories, and unique perspectives.
These meaningful conversations help re-engage thinking, build confidence, and support a person to feel valued, heard, and deeply connected.

We already talk - and do puzzles. Is this different?
Absolutely Yes!
Many families tell us they already do puzzles, word games, or daily chats — and that’s a great starting point.
However, puzzles tend to work a narrow range of thinking skills and often don’t support communication, confidence, or social engagement. Over time, they can even undermine confidence as tasks become harder.
Connect at Home™ is designed to go further - supporting opinions, discussion, reasoning, and confidence in speaking, not just finding the “right” answer.
Connection is the goal — not correctness.

"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 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.
Connect at Home™ creates quality time together that feels natural and enjoyable. The activities foster connection and conversation without feeling forced or clinical.
As one family member shared about our approach:
"I don't know what you do in there, but he absolutely loves it and comes out feeling so confident."
This program exists because families kept asking what magic happened in our sessions that created such positive changes.
They wanted to recreate that same feeling at home.
Connect at Home™ gives you those tools while preserving your most important role - being family.
(If you work with a paid support person, they can facilitate activities while you take a well-deserved break, though most families tell us they enjoy participating because it makes the day brighter.)

Support for Your Loved One- and for You
Everything you need is prepared and included.
There’s no planning, no printing, and no pressure to get things “right”.
You’re guided through short, structured sessions, so you’re not left wondering what to do next or whether you’re doing enough.
You’ll also have optional access to a private online community for carers, where you can:
-
Connect with others who are in a similar situation
-
Share experiences or ask questions
-
Feel supported along the way
Many carers tell us that connecting with other families is one of the most valuable parts of the program - having the opportunity to speak with people who understand and share real-life experiences.

How Does it Work?
Connect at Home™ supports cognitive wellbeing and connection through structured conversation and shared experiences. The science works quietly in the background, while families experience greater confidence, engagement, and meaningful time together.
Much like exercise supports the body, Connect at Home™ supports the brain — through conversation, curiosity, and participation.

If now doesn’t feel like the right time, that’s okay. We recommend starting with our ConnectEd Carer program, and return to this program later if it feels right.
