    About    

Founded in August 2017 under the name Forget Me Not - Dementia Services by myself Anna Hornby.

I qualified as an Occupational Therapist in Germany in 2002. I have worked with clients living with dementia in Germany, the UK and New Zealand for 14 years in different settings, residential care, in-patient hospital facilities, day centres and in the community.

Since 2017 I have noticed the positive changes in my clients using Cognitive Stimulation Therapy (CST) and during the COVID 19 Pandemic adapt this beneficial programme to continue stimulating my clients brains in a fun and engaging way with the support of Telehealth. The manual "Virtual Brains In Action" was published in July 2020.
