At ACH Group all of our services are inclusive of people with cognitive impairments including dementia, as well as dementia specific services to suit individual needs and allow for choice.

ACH Group have staff with the specialist knowledge, skills and experience that enables them to offer the right advice at the right time, no matter where someone is on their journey with dementia.

Dementia is caused by a variety of diseases and injuries that affect the brain. Dementia can affect a person’s memory, thinking, behaviour and ability to perform everyday activities.

While dementia can and does have a profound effect on a person’s daily life and that of those around them, it is possible to live well with dementia in the community, at home or in residential care.

Research tells us, the key to living well with dementia is to focus on health and wellbeing and to stay socially connected in ways that suit a person’s abilities and interests.

Olympian to get a kick out of World Cup ⚽

In the immortal words of Ted Lasso’s Danny Rojas: “football is life”. Those words couldn’t be truer for ACH Group’s Kapara resident and former international footballer and Olympian Hugh Forde. 😊

Hugh began playing football at five years of age and continued until he was 38. An attacking wing-half, he played for leading Northern Irish clubs, enjoying major success with Glenavon when the club won the Irish Cup and Ulster Cup in 1959 and the Irish League title in 1960. 🏆

He also captained the Northern Ireland amateur international side and represented Great Britain at the 1960 Summer Olympics in Rome, playing in the team’s win against Chinese Taipei, then known as Taiwan. Look for Hugh pictured with the Olympic team — he’s in the second row, third from the right. 📸

“Playing in the Olympics was an important highlight of my career,” he said. “Football has always been part of our family.” ❤️

Hugh will be watching this year’s World Cup with interest, barracking for both his beloved homeland Ireland, England and his adoptive Australia. 🌍

To celebrate the Football World Cup 2026, ACH Group will host its own penalty shootout competition during the week, with prizes up for grabs for best individual performances as well as overall home results. 🥅
