Support at Home Program
Personalised around your life.
About this support
Care that begins with listening.
Every person's experience of dementia is unique. Our approach begins with the person - their history, routines, abilities, preferences and what helps them feel secure and connected.
Personalised support can help a person living with dementia maintain independence, wellbeing and a meaningful life at home while their needs change over time.
We also work alongside families and carers, sharing practical guidance and helping everyone plan for what comes next.
The services available to you will depend on your aged care assessment, approved support plan, needs and budget.
