Dementia Care
Providing individualised care in your own home based on the clients needs and personality.
Dementia can be a difficult condition to come to terms with, whether its you or a loved one. Moving away from home can be too much too soon. Telopea can help keep your independence as much as possible by assisting you while you stay at home.
Our carers are competent to handle specific dementia challenges, Most carers are experienced and certified in dementia care. Generally a carer would be selected, coming as near as possible to the personality of the client/patient. This helps to create trust, understanding and respect more easily.
In these situations it is important that the person doesn’t feel patronised or belittled. It is a skill which requires patience and understanding. Familiarity with both the patient and the carer is important, which is why Telopea endeavours to keep regularity with the carers sent to the client.
