How to Join Us

Joining our club is a straightforward process, tailored to ensure the right fit for each individual. Eligibility is open to anyone experiencing memory loss, and members are typically referred through the Capital and Coast DHB or a GP. However, private attendance is also welcome. An assessment is required to determine specific needs and funding options, which may include DHB support or private payment.
