At Dementia Adventure, we believe that life doesn’t stop with a diagnosis. That’s why we offer 5-day supported breaks across the UK—giving people living with dementia and their caregivers the chance to relax, reconnect, and recharge.
What’s Included?
Our breaks are fully supported by a dedicated team of trained staff and volunteers. Here’s what you can expect:
All-Inclusive Care – All meals are freshly prepared for you.
Planned Day Trips – Explore beautiful locations and create lasting memories.
Time to Relax – Rest and recharge in a safe, welcoming environment.
The Benefits
Guests often experience:
Improved appetite

A brighter mood
Time away from routine in the right setting can make a big difference—for both the person living with dementia and their companion.
Need Help with Funding?
We understand that finances can be a concern. Talk to us—we’re here to help. Funding doesn’t have to be a barrier to getting the break you need.
The Community Dementia Support Service by the Alzheimer’s Society across Essex are now hosting new community groups. These community groups are for people with dementia or memory issues and their carers and friends. All groups are free of charge to attend, in accessible venues, have availability for new attendees and are warm and safe for everyone who attends.
