Our Support Services
Assessment and
follow up
We will provide you with an initial assessment and follow up visits for as long as you need. These visits can be arranged in our clinic rooms or in the home if necessary.
The appointments will be to discuss your memory and how you are managing, how best we can help you receive further support or advice if needed.
Behavioural
Support
​
Sometimes relatives of people living with dementia will encounter difficult and emotional situations where their relative may be experiencing behaviours of concern.
This may be in the home or in a residential aged care facility.
Whether you are an existing client or a new client we can offer visits either in your home, the clinic or at the residential aged care facility.
​

advice on ways to optimise your Quality of Life.

professionals who we can direct you to.
