A new lease of life for Wayne 

Wayne lives in Montgomery Court, a scheme for over 55s in Medway. He is living with vascular dementia after a heart attack 15 years ago, having previously been a successful IT manager and then a college lecturer. Since his arrival he has gone from strength to strength, with only those close to him knowing about his vascular dementia and more recent Alzheimer’s diagnosis. He is using his IT skills to teach his Wayne with friends at Montgomery Courtneighbours about computers and holds a regular DJ and quiz night at the scheme. He has also set up a cafe at the scheme to provide a safe space for people living with dementia. 

He says: “I waited a long time to get into Montgomery Court but it was worth it. I feel that I have made it home with a whole load of new friends.”
