EXTENDED AGED CARE AT HOME (DEMENTIA)
Extended Aged Care at Home Dementia (EACHD) packages provide high levels of support to older people with dementia to assist them to remain living in their own homes.
EACHD packages are individually planned and coordinated packages of care tailored to help older people who experience difficulties in their daily life because of behavioural and psychological symptoms associated with their dementia.
EACHD packages are very flexible and are designed to help with individual care needs. The types of services that may be provided as part of an EACH D package include:
- registered nursing care
- care by an allied health professional such as a physiotherapist, podiatrist or other type of allied health care
- personal care
- transport to appointments
- social support
- home help
- assistance with oxygen and/or enteral feeding
- wellbeing and lifestyle support.
EACHD packages also offer service approaches and strategies to meet the specific needs of care recipients with dementia who experience behaviours which may impact their daily quality of life.
