Dementia Care Support

Caring for a loved one with dementia is a journey. The time, expertise and care needed to maintain their quality of life can change over time. Working out their dementia care plan can be a difficult task to tackle alone and when combined with ongoing care, caring for a parent with dementia at home, can be challenging.

“I love that Age Up Health is so committed to looking at the person as an individual (and not the same as the last person or the next). I love the flexibility of services and supports they provide so that they are able to care for a person over time in a way that meets their needs and hopes and reduces their anxieties. The person-centred guidance and the care advice they provide is so important and I think Age Up Health offers this to give people the best outcomes. What a great company.”
