For Care Partners

We are here to help you

Dementia Together is here for you and has tools available to you at no charge to transform dementia care from tragedy and crisis to contentment and hope.

The SPECAL® Method is a simple evidence based disability management model, understandable by anyone regardless of educational level or medical knowledge. The strategies taught are simple yet counterintuitive and they work. 98% of care partners who have implemented even just one of the strategies report feeling empowered and more confident in promoting well-being for loved ones in their care.

In-Person Education

Find out why counter-intuitive strategies make sense, learn about the SPECAL® photograph album, and discover 3 Golden Rules for creating well-being for your loved one living with dementia, as well as reducing stress for yourself.

Dementia Together is honored to share practical strategies through SPECAL®, a UK-originated evidence-based, positive dementia care approach. Our intro class, For Families: An Intro to SPECAL®, is held monthly at various locations. Register at no charge on our calendar.
