Specialist Care for those with Dementia
Available in Low & High Care Facilities“Dementia is the term used to describe the symptoms of a large group of illnesses which cause a progressive decline in a person’s functioning. It is a broad term used to describe a loss of memory, intellect, rationality, social skills and what would be considered normal emotional reactions.” - Alzheimer’s Australia Some of the most common types of dementia are Alzheimer’s disease, vascular dementia, Parkinson’s disease, dementia with Lewy Bodies, fronto-temporal lobar degeneration (FTLD), and Huntington’s disease. It is important to know that all villages can provide care to people with low levels of dementia-like behaviours.However, we do have specialised Dementia Specific Units within several of our villages where residents with various types of more advanced dementias can be safely cared for. Staff in these units have ongoing support and mentoring, and many have completed specialised training. The Physical environments are secure, and special therapy programs are provided. |  Dementia Specific Unit Locations- Castle Hill - Kilvinton, Nuffield Flinders |
