RADIQL™ Model

Our RADIQL™ model has been shown to improve the well-being of people with dementia by 42% and increase positive behaviour by 25%. Group sessions significantly boost quality of life, with benefits seen within the first 50 minutes and continuing to grow over a 24-week period.

This research, involving over 200 participants, was funded by Guy’s and St Thomas’ Charity.

• 90% of family carers report improved well-being and companionship.


• 100% of people with dementia report improved well-being and companionship.
