Dementia Wellness Program

I would like to introduce you to our FREE Dementia Wellbeing Program. We believe that our program could be helpful to some of your listeners or their families. Here at Australian Multicultural Community Services, Dementia Wellbeing Centers, provide comprehensive support and care to individuals living with dementia and their carers via 5 free sessions. 

 The aim of this program is to:

 Empower carers with strategies and resources. Assisting them with their caring role and wellbeing.
Help people with dementia remain living at home for longer.
Connect carers, allowing them to share experiences. 
Sessions will include activities of interest to the clients as well as an education/support session for the carers.  
Morning tea and lunch will be provided free of charge. 
Transportation will be available upon request (taxi vouchers). 
 Eligibility Criteria:

The individual being cared for must have a confirmed medical diagnosis of mild to moderate dementia. 
To participate the individual living with dementia should be accompanied by their carer.
Participants can be of any age, from any background or geographical area in Victoria and must be living at home.  The carer does not need to be living at the same property as the person they are caring for.  You do not have to have an existing Aged Care package or be a NDIS participant to take part.   
Referrals can be made by anyone, including self-referrals from the carer or care recipient.
*People who are living in permanent care are not eligible. 

Our goal is to make each session as beneficial and enjoyable as possible, offering a range of activities and support services that cater to the well-being of both the client and their carer. This includes involvement from a range of supports including dementia experts and health professionals who will be arming them with a host of resources.
