Do you think it's possible to change a life in on hour? We certainly do and a recent study adds credence to that belief.

A recent study carried out by Exeter Medical School showed that just one hour spent socially with a person with a dementia can help to reduce agitation and improve their quality of life. You can read more from the study leader Clive Bullard here. 

We're quite sad to note that this study hasn't had widen coverage, so do please share it as we believe such a simple step could help so many.

As a company we act on what we believe which was why, back in May, our team members did completed the "Dementia Friends" training. This training is designed to change peoples' perception about dementia, helping to change the way our nation talks, acts and thinks about the condition. Just another step to helping understand dementia.
