There are 64,000 people living with dementia in Ireland, so the chances are most people will know someone with the disease. Join IOB and Saint Joseph's Shankill, Ireland's leading dementia care provider, as they take us through:

  • General information about living with dementia

  • Supporting someone living with dementia

  • Connecting with a person living with dementia

Saint Joseph's Shankill is home to 60 people. They also provide a Day Care Club and 2 beds for weekly respite. They hold the 'Outstanding' Butterfly Model of Care accreditation from Meaningful Care Matters. In 2020 they won the Charity Impact Award and in 2021 we received the Investing in Volunteers Award, the national quality mark for volunteer management.
