Open Door is a committed team of people who have worked in dementia services for many years. We formed to provide a service to people who suffer from the effects of early-stage memory loss (dementia).

We fully understand that living with a memory problem is not easy. It can strike at any time and age; we know how challenging this can be.

Our services are not just for those who suffer from memory impairment, we encourage carers and family members to join our self-help groups, where all aspects of living and coping with dementia can be discussed. The group offers a place where you can find support and share concerns.

We aim to provide information, help and support to everyone to the best of our ability and to assist in all aspects.

Cognitive Stimulation Therapy or CST for short is proven to provide help for people who suffer from early-stage memory loss.

Using prompts from past experience as well as promoting the here and now (present). Such therapy has been shown to have positive benefits for those who suffer from memory problems.

CST is not a cure but it has been proven to provide lasting effectiveness in the management of dementia and is so far the only therapeutic treatment recommended by NICE (National Institute for Health and Clinical Excellence).
