Otago

I am a Community Educator with Alzheimers Otago working with people living with dementia and Alzheimers Disease in Dunedin and North Otago.

Everyday I see the challenges faced by the carer and person with dementia to navigating the system in order to get the right support at the right time.

Alzheimers Otago has been operating since 1982 with a vision of creating a dementia friendly Otago. They support approximately 400 people through groups and home visits.
