Younger Onset Dementia Support

Support for people living with Younger Onset Dementia

We support individuals living with Younger Onset Dementia (YOD) – those diagnosed with dementia before the age of 65 – as well as their families.

We recognise the unique challenges faced by younger individuals with dementia and the need for tailored services focused on reablement to engage in daily life and activities that are enhancing quality of life.

Understanding the specific needs of younger people with dementia, our services are designed to promote independence, well-being, and community engagement.
