Memory Loss/Dementia Support
Holdsworth Community has been accredited by Alzheimer’s Australia as a Dementia Friendly Organisation and as a Best Practice site.
We take a very individual approach to supporting people with memory loss and encourage people to continue to do all the things they have always enjoyed doing, for as long as possible.
Our activities and programs are tailored to your abilities and interests.
Home Connect
The Holdsworth Home Connect program is designed to support socially isolated older people who are living alone in their own homes.
This is our “safety net” program for people who may be without someone taking a regular interest in their wellbeing.
Most of the individuals supported by the program either do not have families who are readily available or do not want to involve their family in the issues they need to deal with as they age.
What is a Home Care Package?
A Home Care Package is an allocation of funds provided by the government that enables you to purchase products and services that help you stay at home enjoying the best quality of life as you age.
We understand how important your Home Care Package funding is to your overall wellbeing and quality of life. That’s why our mission is a personalised solution that maximises funding for services.
Some services you can access include:
- Social Outings & Companionship
- Personal Assistance
- Cleaning & Maintenance
