Alzheimers Gisborne Tairawhiti is a small not-for profit, charitable organisation that provides support and programmes for people with mild to moderate dementia and their whanau/families in the Gisborne rohe. The aim of the organisation is to help people with dementia live the best life they can while remaining in their own homes for as long as possible. We run a day programme for people with dementia, a community group for early on-set dementia and a carer support group for those supporting a family member with dementia.
