Hello,
Im trying to find some groups for my Mum to join in Ibiza. She's recently been diagnosed with MCI and lives alone there. Does anyone here know of any English speaking social groups for people with Dementia on the Island? Im also trying to find an English GP there.
Many thanks,
Claire

Samasound focuses on two projects currently. Music and singing based, the organisation meets monthly at Can Seres, a hospital in Ibiza Town, and works closely with the elderly, encouraging group singing and music meditation. Several of the patients experience dementia and it is the organisations aim to work with the doctors and nurses to help relax and increase the pleasure of the patients lives.
The second project focuses on children and again incorporates music but also activities such as sailing and horse riding. The children reside at a Childrens Home in Santa Eulalia and monthly, SamaSound aim to encourage the children to experience life, in a manner not possible without SamaSounds support and commitment.
