Peaceful Place is a day centre in Basildon, Essex, which supports around 50 people with young onset dementia (YOD). Members are diverse in age, background and needs. They have different dementias, at various stages, with diverse physical, cognitive and communication manifestations and co-morbidities. Emphasising reablement and rehabilitation, Peaceful Place’s model focuses on strengths and enabling people to help themselves. It is not a “care” service, but offers activities which are enjoyable, meaningful and health-promoting with the intention of maximising abilities, relearning lost skills and developing ways of coping with deficits. Person-centredness, social interaction and peer support are the cornerstones.

The Walking Football Team
The Peaceful Place Walking Football Team took on the mighty Billericay FC recently, winning a keenly contested game on penalties!
Player of the Day was our Paul, pictured here on one of his trademark mazzy dribbles with the ball, in a great Team display.
That's what we are at Peaceful Place - a Team, all working together to help people live their best lives.
