About Us

Alzheimers Society Manawatu Inc (ASMI) covers the Manawatu, Horowhenua and Tararua regions.
Centrally based in Palmerston North, ASMI seeks to ‘make life better’ for those individuals, carers, families/whanau affected by dementia.  

The organisation helps build healthy, sustainable communities in a number of ways namely by:

• Day programs offer people with dementia the opportunity to socially interact with others within a varied and stimulating programme which is managed by trained staff.  Programs are currently offered in Palmerston, Levin, Dannevirke and Feilding.
• Monthly Carer Support groups in Palmerston North, Levin, Dannevirke and Feilding gives carers opportunities to discuss with each other day to day issues and enables them to support each other.
• Our dementia advisors provide assessment, education and support to people affected by dementia within the community.

The WanderSearch tracking system is now run by Land Search and Rescue.
