Learn about us through our recent BBC interview.

"Fed up with their own inadequate and expensive care systems, many elderly Westerners are choosing to retire to Thailand, where care is cheaper and often better. Many say Thailand’s Buddhist culture and respect for the elderly means Thais are naturally caring."

Elderly expats are going to Thailand to retire - but the decision to move can be complex.

Dementia Is Not a Normal Part of Aging

While memory issues can occur with age, dementia is caused by specific diseases like Alzheimer's. Early detection and support can significantly improve quality of life.

Recognizing the signs early allows for better care planning, improved outcomes, and more meaningful moments with loved ones.

🧠 Early signs can include memory loss, confusion, mood changes

🤗 Early detection enables better planning and access to support

🐌 Proper care early on can delay progression and preserve independence

👫 Families benefit by having time to emotionally prepare

Care for the Caregiver: 4 Actions That Make a Difference
Behind every person living with dementia is a caregiver who gives so much, often without asking for anything in return.

Here are 4 ways you can support them:

👉Check In with Intention: A thoughtful message or visit can remind them they’re seen and valued.

👉Offer Specific Help: Instead of “Let me know if you need anything,” try “Can I run an errand or cook dinner this week?”

👉Be a Safe Space: Let them speak honestly without judgment or needing to “fix” anything.

👉Promote Their Self-Care: Encourage them to take breaks, and help make those breaks possible.

Even small acts of support can ease their burden in big ways.

Don’t Choose a Care Home Until You’ve Asked These Questions
Finding the right dementia care home isn’t just about location or appearance- it’s about trust, safety, and personalized care.

Before making a decision, ask these essential questions:

✅Are caregivers specifically trained in dementia care, and do they treat residents with warmth and respect?
Expertise matters, but compassion is everything.

✅How personalized is the care plan?
Great care homes take time to understand each resident’s background, preferences, and evolving needs.

✅What safety protocols are in place?
Look for secure environments, fall prevention strategies, and emergency systems.

✅How are residents engaged day to day?
Ask about meaningful activities that promote joy, connection, and cognitive stimulation.

Asking the right questions leads to confident decisions—and better outcomes for your loved one.
