Living Well with Dementia: Duncan’s Story

At The Good Care Group, our priority is to ensure our clients can continue engaging in the activities they enjoy most, no matter where they are in their care journey.

One of our clients, Duncan, is among the 90,000 people living with dementia in Scotland and is currently receiving our support. We are committed to helping clients like Duncan live independently, enabling them to continue the activities that bring them joy.

Duncan, a former captain of a renowned Glasgow football team, can now stay connected to his community in Glasgow. With our assistance, he has been able to relive his glory days at Queen’s Park, where he once played for the reserve 11, known as the Strollers.

You can read Duncan’s heartfelt story in Glasgow Times and Yahoo Sport.
