With our ageing population it’s necessary to look at improved ways of caring for our elderly. In the final years of life, it’s nice for family to have that continued connection without early separation due to medical and personal care. With Australia’s increasing numbers of elderly, coupled with the population living longer, we are seeing higher levels of dementia than previously seen. This means rethinking how services are delivered to those with dementia and providing some alternatives to the traditional form of care.

This means that the individual is able to remain at home surrounded by loved ones and still have access to professional care and support. Support can be provided with personal care requirements such as showering and dressing through to picking up a bottle of milk.

Private dementia care means that the individual is able to remain at home in the comfort of their familiar surroundings. This is such an important factor for someone with dementia to be comforted by the things that have always been familiar to them. The individual is able to focus on their continuing abilities within their own home and be provided with in-home support tailored to their needs for the things they are no longer able to do.
Envigor Private Home Care can provide an individual with a higher quality of life with person-centred care based on choices about the type of care and services accessed. Family can feel peace of mind for knowing that their loved one is receiving the best possible care. They are comforted by the knowledge that their loved one is being treated with dignity and are able to retain part of themselves and their lifestyle that they are accustomed to. It’s a total rethinking of how services are delivered to those with dementia.
