• I am a small business and have a small client base whom I provide quality care in their homes and the community. Being a 1 woman band, you're guaranteed consistent care which is highly important in caring for individuals living with dementia. To me this isn't 'just a job', it is my dream.

  • Yes! My services are claimable through the NDIS and Home-Care Packages (the only difference being Home-Care Package clients will need to claim through an external platform).

  • I am based in Newcastle, NSW and am happy to travel within reasonable distance. Travel will be charged on a case by case basis. If you live further away and are seeking support, education or resources - we can arrange for video/phone calls.

  • The end of an individual's life is such an emotional and precious time. I am available to come to your home and provide education on End of Life, answer any questions you may have and also be your emotional support throughout the palliative journey.

  • If you already have a support team in place but need a Care Plan curated - I can help you! I will come and do an assessment, ask loads of questions and then get back to you with a Care Plan. We can update this and adjust it as care needs change!

  • As you may know, it is not uncommon for individuals living with dementia to have various behaviours that can be challenging to get your head around as a carer/family member. I can do an assessment on your loved on (observing) and ask you questions and then curate a plan with enabling strategies to best support your loved one and minimise the risks associated with certain behaviours.

  • No! All I ask is that you be open minded and communicate openly with me throughout the process. You may think something may be irrelevant but every piece of information shapes the individual and their life.

  • Yes! One of the first things I will ask for when we first meet is this paperwork (it is the dreaded paperwork that essentially asks if the individual is for CPR, and to what level of intervention they would like). Even if your loved one has only been diagnosed yesterday, this paperwork is very important and tells me what I need to do in the event that their heart stops beating. I am very open with talking about End of Life but completely understand some people are not - I will broach the topic very gently and empathetically.

  • Of course! Everyone's journey is different but I can help support you and give you an idea of things you may see/experience along the way. I'm here with you on this journey!

  • As I am a 1 woman band and am working, you may reach me at a time where I am with another client. Please be patient and I will get back to you as soon as possible. Alternatively, if your matter is not urgent, please email me on hello@caringwithdementia.com
