Dementia Support

Living with dementia can bring uncertainty for both the person and those who care about them. Our companions and caregivers have experience and training in dementia care, providing calm, consistent support that helps each day feel more familiar, reassuring and connected.

Dementia Support

Support built around the person, not the diagnosis

No two people experience dementia in the same way. We tailor support to each person, drawing on their routines, past interests and what matters most to them, while adapting as their needs change.

  • Consistent routines - helping each day feel familiar, calm and reassuring
  • Meaningful engagement - music, conversation, family photos, games and activities
  • Familiar faces and trusted relationships - building confidence through a small, consistent team
  • Safety at home - gentle supervision, reassurance and support
  • Respectful personal care - showering, dressing, grooming and daily routines
  • Meals and hydration - preparing meals and encouraging regular eating and drinking
  • Medication reminders or support - assistance with medications to be taken as prescribedplan
  • Respite for family carers - giving families time to rest with confidence

Meaningful Engagement

We encourage activities that reflect each person's interests, past experiences and daily routines, bringing comfort, purpose and moments of joy.

Supporting Families

We're here for families too - keeping you informed, providing reassurance and adapting support as your loved one's needs change.

When dementia support might help

  • Your loved one is becoming more forgetful, confused or disoriented at home
  • They are wandering or showing behaviours that are becoming difficult to manage
  • Family carers are feeling overwhelmed or need regular support
  • Daily routines, including medications, are becoming harder to manage safely
  • A familiar, consistent companion would help reduce anxiety and provide reassurance

What dementia support can look like

Gentle routines, meaningful moments

June's companion arrives in the morning and they begin the day with a cup of coffee together. There's no rush. A friendly face, gentle conversation and time to settle into the day. When the weather is nice, they head out for a walk around the neighbourhood, chatting about the flowers in bloom, birds in the trees and familiar sights along the way.

Back at home, they enjoy working on a puzzle together before preparing lunch. Today it's homemade pumpkin soup, with June helping to peel the vegetables and stir the pot where she can. Staying involved in familiar activities helps maintain confidence and gives a sense of purpose.

After lunch, June's companion tidies the kitchen and leaves everything ready for a relaxing afternoon.

Every visit is different, but they're all built around familiar routines, meaningful moments and compassionate support that helps people living with dementia feel safe, reassured and connected.

The professionalism, willingness to adapt to Mum's needs each visit, and close follow-up on any requests we had were greatly appreciated. We are deeply grateful for the great service and for everyone's super amazing input in enriching Mum's life.
