Grenada Dementia Care Initiative exists to inform, educate, inspire and empower individuals who have dementia of any type, their caregivers, relatives and stakeholders. We will operate with integrity, dignity respect, and compassion. We will offer choices that will serve to empower persons to have ‘quality of life’ and enjoy optimum health at every stage of their journey. Our goal is, ‘Empowering Lives Enriching Communities’
Grenada Dementia Initiative Organisation – We are a group of individuals who desire to offer holistic help to people living with dementia in Grenada, their relatives and caregivers. We also aim to increase awareness of the condition and its symptoms, across Grenada. Research shows that awareness can reduce the stigma of the disease and help to create a safe space where people living with dementia can share their experiences, which can inform bespoke person-centred care at home in the community and at different care facilities.
Our Support line is available seven days a week, to anyone who needs advice on caring for someone with dementia, or for anyone who is worried about memory or cognitive impairment and may be experiencing symptoms. Or if there is a crisis within the home, that is considered to be an emergency, help will be available. There is also advice available on our user-friendly website.
We have developed a website that is easy to navigate for everyone. If you feel this is not the case then please give us your feedback.

We don’t like to brag, but we don’t mind letting our customers do it for us. Here are a few nice things folks have said about our themes over the years.
Our combined experience of over 30 years includes specialists in mental health and dementia studies, formal caregivers with many years of experience in caring for people with dementia, and family members and friends who have taken up the role of carer to look after their loved ones. As a team, we have dedicated our time and efforts to improving dementia care.
