What a difference a day makes

The Filo Project is an award winning not-for-profit organisation which provides small group care days for people with early to moderate dementia and other challenges of older age; stroke, Parkinson's and sensory loss. We operate in Devon, Somerset, Cornwall, East Lancashire, Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole, and delight in providing a warm, welcoming and familiar place where friendships are made and social isolation diminished.

Within the nurturing environment of The Filo Project, the focus is firmly on individuals' capacities. Clients flourish, many experiencing positive changes in their symptoms and wellbeing. Families are also able to enjoy regular and extended respite.

What our clients and families say

"My heartfelt thanks for all you have done for my Mum and to support me over the past couple of years. Without it there’s absolutely no doubt she would not have been able to extend her independent lifestyle for as long as she has, and I know she’s really enjoyed being 'out with her friends' whenever she’s been on her days away." - Step-son of client

Filo Family Support

We believe it is important to build relationships not only with our clients, but with their families too. Caring for someone with dementia brings with it many challenges; if care partners are well supported they are able to cope better with the demands placed upon them. In recognising this we are pleased to offer our complimentary Filo Family Support service.
