We are absolutely thrilled to report that RITA is now being used operationally in Italy and the results are mirroring what has been achieved in the UK and Ireland over the past 12 years which to be honest is not a surprise!
Wherever you live in the world, Dementia and Cognitive complexities are no different! How you support and treat these issues is no different. The only difference is language and we have enhanced RITA to meet the needs of those living in different countries.
We are so proud to share with you an experience that Christian had using RITA with an elderly gentleman living at home with mild Dementia called Giovanni. Enjoy and read more here
