Home Cognitive Program begins 23rd Feb 2026
Many families reach out as they are overwhelmed after receiving a diagnosis.
The journey to a diagnosis is often long and emotional. When answers finally come, it can feel like a relief - yet many families are left feeling confused, upset, and unsure what to do next.
They want to help, but often don't know where to start
There’s so much information available, but it can be a lot to take in. Many people simply want someone to make it easier to understand, so they can confidently apply it to their own situation.
Absolute Care Therapy was created to help people and families continue to live well with a diagnosis of dementia.
With over 20 years of neurological experience, Amanda has created two supportive, education-focused programs to help you move forward with confidence.
The ReConnect™ Education Series – gentle, practical guidance for people and families soon after diagnosis or when clarity is needed.
The Connect at Home™ Cognitive Program – a family-led, evidence-based program designed to strengthen cognitive skills and support meaningful connection at home.
We also understand that life is busy, and families are juggling so much
Family and carer wellbeing is central to living well with dementia. Our programs are designed to give you clear knowledge, confidence, and practical tools - all in one place - so you don’t need to do any extra searching or heavy lifting.
