Everyone who uses a MacIntyre service has the right to expect support in a way that makes sense to them, whatever their age. We encourage the people we support to be ambitious and achieve their dreams.
Our staff support people to live well with dementia by making the environment dementia friendly, continuously listening to them, being sensitive to their hopes and fears, being flexible and adapting the support offered to keep their independence for as long as possible.
