About this listen

 Ty Hapus is a unique South Wales-based respite project for people living with young-onset dementia. Tess Thomas, the manager of Ty Hapus, shares her passion for supporting the dementia community and how the service creates a sense of purpose, connection, and joy for both guests and their carers.

We discuss the importance of tailored activities, routines, and communication strategies, as well as the vital role of respite in supporting carers’ mental health. From music sessions to creative projects, Tess illustrates how Ty Hapus transforms respite into meaningful experiences and fosters a vibrant, home-from-home environment.

Whether you’re a carer, a health professional, or simply interested in dementia care, this conversation is full of practical advice, heartfelt stories, and insights into creating spaces where people living with dementia can thrive.
