Dementia Advisory Service
Our dementia advisors provide free support to people living with dementia and their carers.
Our goal is to provide our clients with the appropriate tools and information to live their best life, and to feel supported throughout their journey.
We are committed to providing our service using a wellness and reablement approach.
At
BaptistCare, we know everyone’s journey is different. Individually tailored plans may include:
y Support to navigate the Aged Care system
y Information about appropriate services and their availability
y Information to support a better understanding of dementia, both at initial diagnosis and beyond
y Provision of advice and guidance about living well with dementia
y Support to develop strategies to manage changed behaviours
y Information and assistance to plan for future care needs
y Inspiration to remain engaged and make the most of every day
y Connection with others experiencing life with dementia.
Wellness and reablement means we support our clients to remain as independent as possible.
Intended as a short term service, BaptistCare can also facilitate access to relevant professional services, local networks, allied health and other community based service providers to help with the challenges and changes that a dementia diagnosis might bring.
