What We Do

Montessori for Dementia, Disability and Ageing is a life-changing, rehabilitative approach focusing upon the needs of older people especially those living with dementia or other disabilities. It promotes the principles of dignity, respect and independence for an active, purposeful and meaningful life.

Montessori philosophy focuses on four Key Principles: self-esteem, independence, choice and meaningful engagement.
