You may have been watching a recently released TV show - a reality programme, which has recruited people living with dementia to open and run a restaurant.
Four of the eight volunteers on 'The Restaurant That Makes Mistakes' have early onset dementia, meaning they're under the age of 65.
Early onset dementia makes up 12 percent of all diagnoses, takes on average twice as long to detect, and poses a raft of unique challenges.
Dementia NZ Northern Region clinical lead Rhonda Preston-Jones was involved with recruiting and supporting the participants on the show. She talks to Jesse about what happens behind the scenes.
