Every connection matters
Empowering communication and
connection for people with dementia
Our approach is grounded in understanding that, even as short term memory fades, feelings remain strong and long term memories can often be accessed.
At Steps, we believe that even when memory fades, moments of recognition, joy, and connection are still possible. Our tools are designed to help people with dementia stay in touch with their identity — and with the people who love them.
We create simple, effective ways to make communication easier, reduce anxiety, and bring comfort through familiar stories, images, music, and puzzles.
Why We Exist
Dementia affects more than memory. It affects confidence, relationships, and the ability to enjoy everyday conversation. It’s frustrating — for the person living with dementia, and for those around them.
We know this first-hand. As professionals and as family members, we’ve lived the daily struggle of trying to connect with a loved one who can’t find the words, doesn’t recognise their home, or repeats the same question again and again.
And we know how powerful it can be when something sparks a smile, a memory, or a moment of peace.
