Dementia Care At Home

From our highly experienced Case Managers through to our direct care workers, our team is trained in understanding Dementia and the issues surrounding this condition. We have many carers who have specialised experience in dementia support.

We take the time to understand our clients’ individual dementia care needs at home. And we pride ourselves on delivering a high level of tailored care that enhances our clients’ quality of life.

Book A Consultation

At Prestige, we understand that dementia affects each person differently and everyone’s experience with the condition is unique. This means that people living with dementia have unique care needs.

We will assess you or your loved one living with Dementia and then develop an individualised plan of care. We develop plans that meet their needs as well as those of your family.

With Prestige Inhome Care, you’ll receive aged care at home which is tailored to the requirements of a person living with dementia, as well as your specific needs and lifestyle. You can pay for your care privately. Or if you are eligible for a government-funded home care package, we can set one up to include dementia care.

If you would like to discuss dementia care across Melbourne, Sydney or the Sunshine Coast, contact us today.

Our Dementia and Alzheimer’s support services are individually tailored to your loved one’s specific situation.

What is the difference between Dementia & Alzheimer’s?

An in-home carer providing dementia care in Sydney, taking an elderly client for a walk

Dementia describes a collection of symptoms that are caused by disorders affecting the brain. It is not one specific disease. Dementia affects thinking, behaviour and the ability to perform everyday tasks.

There are many different forms of dementia and each has its
own causes. Alzheimer’s disease is the most common form of dementia accounting for between 60% and 80% of all dementias.

People who suffer from dementia have unique and specific needs and their care and support services need to be individually tailored. No two clients with dementia are the same. Dementia affects all clients differently and everyone’s experience with the condition is unique.

Client feedback

What Our Clients Love About Us

  • A special thank you needs to go to you. Not only did you manage to organise everything under Shirley’s roof magnificently but nothing ever seemed a problem whether it be late at night or on the weekend. I guess it is easy enough to pay for care but what we received in return were carers, including you, who genuinely cared about the patient.

    Peter

  • Thanks for all the help over the tough period as it was very much appreciated by all of our family.

    Natasha Armstrong

  • We have used your wonderful carer for many years now. She is an absolute gem. Nothing is too much trouble. She is thorough, very kind to my wife and very reliable. Thank you for such good service.
