AIM to Get Better At Understanding Neurocognitive Disorders
“We need to change our minds about people whose minds have changed!”
Dr Allen Power
We help people with Dementia to THRIVE
At Aim to Get Better, we are on a mission to give people hope, support and accurate information about the many conditions that lead to cognitive impairment.
There is so much negative publicity and misinformation being given out to the general public, it is no wonder people feel so hopeless and don’t know where to turn for support when they think they, or a loved one, may be displaying symptoms of cognitive change.
We all hope for a day when researchers can find effective treatments and, ultimately, a cure for the many conditions that come under the umbrella of “dementia”. But in the meantime, at Aim to Get Better, we passionately believe that it is possible for people living with dementia to THRIVE.
Our “THRIVE with Dementia”© model of dementia care outlines five key areas that need to be considered in order to provide outstanding dementia care and help people to THRIVE:
Thriving Culture
Health
Relationship Centred Care
Validation
Engagement

Creating the Right Culture for Staff and Residents to THRIVE
“The training is highly recommendable and would greatly benefit, not only those who are looking after people living with dementia, but most especially will have positive impact to those whose minds have changed due to Dementia.”
“What a refreshing approach to thinking about dementia. Everyone is always so negative about the condition, but MJ has inspired me to help my team to focus much more on what brings each resident wellbeing, rather than being so focussed on their disabilities”
