Worried about your memory, or changes in someone you care about?
If you’re worried about your memory or changes in someone you care about, Dementia Directions is here to help. We understand that living with dementia can be a difficult journey, so we offer compassionate and personalised support to individuals, their carers, loved ones, and legal guardians.
It is important to be aware that some people may not realise they are experiencing changes and disregard the observations of family and friends, or even dismiss concerns as a “normal part of ageing.” Dementia is not a normal part of ageing, changes to the brain can interfere with a persons ability to notice changes for themselves, other people, even with awareness, may be afraid of having their fears confirmed.
It is important not to dismiss changes and to investigate the cause. Our compassionate professionals are well-trained to build trust and confidence to help on the path to timely diagnosis. From pre-diagnosis, to accessing the range of dementia support services available, we provide advice to help you live well with dementia.

After over two years of trying and flailing to get the right support and trying to understand and navigate the aged care and home care package system, I was paralysed with overwhelm. Helen recognised this and stepped in and advocated for us and basically got things happening that I had been struggling to make happen with the service providers. She knew what they should be offering us and demanded things happen asap. It felt like finally someone understands what I'm going through and they know how to help me and my mum. Thank you Helen, you have been a life saver!

Are you a care person for someone living with dementia? Do you need Respite? Let’s talk about what respite is…
Respite care provides short-term relief for caregivers, giving them time to rest, take a break or spend time with other family and friends. Respite can provide a caregiver with time so that they can ‘recharge’ and take care of their own health needs in order to continue to provide ongoing care to someone else again.
What happens at respite? The person you provide care to is supported by a professional care worker across a range of settings. It can be a few hours to several weeks at a time, once off or a regular weekly occurrence and it can take place at home, in a “cottage” setting or in an adult day care center.
So many options for aged care and NDIS, see how we can help you find the right option for you at dementiadirections.com.au or 08 7078 3777 ... See MoreSee Less
