Hi Maria, thank you for getting in touch, please give us a call and we can discuss the suitability of the adventure for you and your mother and discuss support. We are on 01245 230 661.
Thank you
My mother with Alzheimers is staying with me for a week from 18th – 26th May. I would love to take her on something like this – it sounds wonderful, but her mobility is very poor and her confusion great. How on earth could she cope?
Of course we would be very happy to explore the possibilities for DA in Northern Ireland! Is it possible to get to the Isle of Man at all from you? We have a holiday on offer from April 23-29 and it would be great to see some of your people on it! More details on the PDF above…call me on 01245 230661 when you get the chance. Thanks!
I am currently working with the Alzheimer’s Society in Northern Ireland as an Activities Manager for groups of carers and people who also have a diagnosis of dementia. I am very interested in what you do and would be keen to find out more. I also have only recently started a new group with younger people with dementia and we would be keen to explore some potential adventures for our group.
