Our History.
At Town Break Dementia Support, we're more than a service - we're a community. Since 1992, we’ve supported people across Forth Valley living with dementia and the unpaid carers who walk alongside them. Through compassionate, person-centred care, we help individuals live well with dementia - with dignity, independence, and connection.
We believe in the power of relationships, understanding, and belonging. Whether it’s through our dementia day clubs, one-to-one befriending, or creative group activities, we offer safe, welcoming spaces where everyone feels seen, supported, and valued. Our mission is simple: To inspire and enable people to live well with dementia — breaking down barriers, reducing isolation, and building a more dementia-friendly Forth Valley. With the right support, every person affected by dementia can face the journey with confidence and hope.
At Town Break Dementia Support Services, our values guide our commitment to quality care. We strive to make a positive difference the lives of those affected by dementia.
