ECH is passionate about supporting older Australians to live the best possible life as they age. We are committed to supporting people living with Dementia as well as their families and support networks. Our services, sites and staff training all follow a Dementia-friendly approach.
Dementia Diagnosis
Receiving a Dementia diagnosis can be confronting and overwhelming for both the individual involved and their families. In addition, dealing with the changes in behaviour caused by Dementia can also be challenging.
While there is a lot of information available about Dementia, it can be hard to know what is relevant and where to start.
ECH can provide information to people living with Dementia as well as to their families and support networks that can help during the early stages of diagnosis.
Care of People with Dementia in their Environment (COPE)
The COPE program aims to focus on the strengths of the person living with Dementia and support their families and support networks.
The program is designed for people in the earlier stages of their Dementia diagnosis to enhance the person’s wellbeing and quality of life. The program is aimed to support both the person living with Dementia and their carers via close input from an ECH Occupational Therapist and Nurse.
This exciting and supportive program gives people living with Dementia and their family practical strategies to live at home and assist with adapting to changes in functional ability and behaviour.
ECH staff are passionate about supporting people living with Dementia to stay in their own homes and supporting carers and family members to enjoy time with their loved ones.
