Heart & Home Dementia Day Retreat
A meaningful day, shaped around who they are.
Welcoming, person-centred support shaped around familiar interests, individual preferences and the things that bring comfort and enjoyment.
Small & personal
Person Centered Care
Not a timetable to fit into. A day shaped around who they are.
Dementia changes some things, but it does not erase personality, preferences or the need to feel useful and connected.
Jamee takes time to understand what matters to each person, creating a gentle rhythm with room for conversation, movement, creativity, quiet time and simple everyday pleasures.
Meaning
Activities chosen for real interest, familiarity and a sense of purpose.
Connection
Warm conversation and social contact without pressure or overwhelm.
Rhythm
Gentle structure that helps the day feel settled and reassuring.
Dignity
Support that notices strengths and respects choice, pace and identity.
How it works
From first enquiry to a supported day.
We start slowly and thoughtfully. Suitability matters—for the person receiving support, their family and the group.
A first conversation
We learn about the person, your family and what support would feel most helpful.
A suitability discussion
Together, we consider needs, preferences and whether the service is the right fit.
A day with purpose
Jamee plans a calm, enjoyable day with meaningful activity, connection and rest.
Keeping family close
Clear communication helps carers feel informed, comfortable and supported.
SPACE FOR THE FAMILY CARER
Support for them creates breathing room for you.
A trusted day of support can give carers time for rest, appointments, work or simply being off duty for a while. That space is not selfish—it can be part of sustaining care.

Is Heart & Home Right for You?
Heart & Home is designed for people living with dementia who can benefit from a warm, supported and meaningful day experience, while also giving their family carer valuable time, space and reassurance.
Our Day Retreat is particularly suited to people who enjoy:
Being around other people and making connections
Meaningful activities that reflect their interests, abilities and life experiences
Music, creativity, conversation, nature and gentle movement
Familiar routines and a calm, welcoming environment
Opportunities to participate, contribute and experience a sense of purpose
Being supported in a small, person-centred setting
It is also for the family member or care partner, providing an opportunity to step away from the caring role for a few hours, attend to their own needs, work, rest, reconnect or simply have some breathing space knowing their loved one is being supported with care and respect.
A meaningful day for them.
