Hi! I’m Florence.

I founded Dementia Partnered Care in 2025 to support people living with dementia and their families in staying active and engaged as the dementia progresses.

My approach is shaped by both personal and professional experience. I have supported people living with dementia in Switzerland as a caregiver, in the United States as an activities leader, and now in England through Dementia Partnered Care. I have seen firsthand how the care and support someone receives can impact everyday life for everybody involved.

Alongside my experience as both a family member and professional care partner, I deepened my understanding through a Master’s degree in Psychology, majoring in Cognitive Neuroscience, as well as additional training in hypnotherapy, progressive muscle relaxation, and autogenic training.

My work is inspired by Teepa Snow’s Positive Approach to Care® and Sonia Lupien’s work on human stress. I believe in supporting dignity and well-being through meaningful and personalised engagement, and experiences that foster familiarity, predictability, safety, and a sense of control.

You know your loved one. I understand dementia.

My role is to bring these two kinds of knowledge together, so that we can understand what's happening and find practical ways to make life, visits and interactions feel easier and more meaningful.

You might need someone to help you understand a difficult situation, practical strategies you can try yourself, or more hands-on support with your loved one. Wherever you are starting from, we can work out what would be most helpful.

We can start with a free 30-minute conversation. You can tell me what's happening, ask questions, and we can explore whether I'm the right person for you.
