Amber Activities
Remaining empowered, alert & active in later life is incredibly important. You may be in your twilight years or living with disabilities or dementia, whether in your own home, residential or care home.
As life changes, becomes slower paced & more sedentary, physical & mental stimulation is critical to maintain a life of balance & identity.
As we age, the inclination is to stay in bed, sit in a chair, not engage with others and become isolated. This is extremely detrimential to physical, mental & emotional wellbeing & the world shrinks around you.

Find out if Amber Support is for you
I offer a free of charge 30-minute discussion with your family to see if Amber Support provision is something you feel would be right for you, it usually goes on a bit to an hour, but I still don’t charge!
I find that ‘chat’ usually takes over and everyone loses track of time, but I never charge for that initial meeting.
It is incredibly important that everyone in the room is comfortable with me and that often takes time.
What I will stress is that I will always direct the conversation primarily to the person living with dementia as it is vital that they feel included, engaged and central to the decision-making process. It is important that they don’t feel that everyone is speaking for them and especially, over them.
