Supported Holidays: Where Adventure and Care Meet

Supported Holidays: Where Adventure and Care Meet

A dementia diagnosis doesn’t have to mean the end of holidays.

At Dementia Adventure, we believe that with the right support—whether practical, emotional, or financial—getting away remains both possible and meaningful. Our small-group and individually tailored holidays for people living with dementia and their carers provide an essential escape from routine and a much-needed break together.

Now more than ever, family carers are telling us they need respite, and our supported holidays offer more than just a luxury—they’re a vital opportunity to set aside responsibilities, relax, and reconnect. Each holiday provides 24-hour dementia-trained support, accessible accommodations, personalised outings, and inclusive meals, all thoughtfully designed to help everyone fully unwind.
