Dedicated to improving quality of life for seniors, frail aged and people living with dementia.
Dementia Wellness is an independent, ethical and values driven service providing support to the culturally diverse range of older people, their carers, and aged care services.
I offer a creative and holistic approach to:
-
Training for aged care services
-
Support for carers and people living with dementia
-
and Lifestory Work
I work with clients from culturally diverse backgrounds.
Aged Care Standards
The recent changes to the Aged Care Standards bring a focus to consumer directed care. Dementia Wellness has worked in this way for over a decade and we are pleased to support the new Standards.
Consumer directed care
Consumer directed care means that all people and organisations such as families, carers and health care providers involved in the care of an older person, work together in the planning, delivery and evaluation of health care ensuring that the client is at the centre of all decision making.
Lifestory work
Lifestory work is the cornerstone of consumer directed care.
I work with carers and organisations to ensure that this information is captured in a practical and useful way.
I am based in Alice Springs, Northern Territory and serve remote communities in the region as well as town-based people and organisations.
