Dementia Support
Compassionate Support for People Living with Dementia
Specialist support for people living with dementia and the families, carers and professionals involved in their care. Delivered at home across Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and Surrey.
Support for the whole person, and the people around them
Dementia affects not only memory and cognition but also movement, balance, physical function and emotional wellbeing. The right support can make a meaningful difference to quality of life, safety and dignity, both for the person living with dementia and for those who care for them.
Our dementia support services are delivered at home, at a pace that is right for each individual. We work with patience, compassion and respect, adapting our approach to the person in front of us.
We support families and carers as well as the person living with dementia, providing guidance, education and reassurance throughout.

How Whole Life Rehab Can Help You and Your Loved One Living With Dementia
Living with dementia can bring changes not only for the person diagnosed, but for the people who love and care for them. Changes in mobility, strength, balance and confidence can make everyday life more difficult and can leave families unsure about how best to help.
Whole Life Rehab provides specialist physiotherapy alongside practical guidance for families and carers, helping you support your loved one with greater confidence while protecting their dignity, independence and quality of life.
For Your Loved One
Maintain mobility and strength
Support your loved one to keep moving and maintain as much physical ability as possible for as long as possible.
Preserve everyday independence
Help them continue participating in everyday activities, transfers and movement wherever possible.
Reduce falls and support safer movement
Identify physical and environmental factors affecting balance, mobility and safety.
Prevent avoidable physical decline
Changes in mobility should not automatically be attributed to dementia. We look carefully at what has changed and what may still be improved or maintained.
Support comfort, dignity and quality of life
Adapt movement, positioning and physical activity around the individual, their abilities and the stage of their dementia.
For You and Those Who Care for Them
Understand changing mobility needs
Help you understand why movement, balance, transfers or physical abilities may be changing and what you can realistically do to help.
Feel more confident supporting movement
Provide practical guidance on encouraging mobility and assisting with everyday movement and transfers safely.
Know what to encourage and when to seek help
Give families and carers professional guidance so they are not left trying to work everything out alone.
Support without unnecessarily taking over
Help you understand where your loved one can still participate and how to encourage independence safely.
Have ongoing professional guidance
Provide a knowledgeable point of support as your loved one's physical needs and abilities change.
"We look beyond the dementia diagnosis."
A change in mobility does not always mean that nothing more can be done. We take time to understand the person, what has changed, what may be contributing to their difficulties and what they may still be capable of with the right support.
Sometimes success is not about regaining everything that has been lost. Maintaining a transfer, continuing to stand, walking a little further or retaining even a small amount of independence can make a meaningful difference to everyday life.
"I can't recommend highly enough. She worked with my elderly mother for over a year and not only provided excellent therapeutic support but was really calm and caring, and empathetic; always cheerful. Sheena really understands the importance of a holistic approach with her clients. She's excellent."
