Day Care at Home
The Day Care at Home service provides an alternative model of care and support to our clients and families. ASI staff visit the persons home and engage in personalised activities with them in their home.
Day Care at Home service, which was first rolled out in August 2020, is a way of delivering a day care experience to clients in their home, while also allowing their family carer to have a break.
It is based on providing social activity based care with minimum personal care. This can include music sessions, reminiscence therapy, arts & crafts, gentle exercises, conversation, companionship and recreational activities.
As with our other services, it is dementia-specific, person-centred care and our trained staff work with clients to ensure that we meet their needs.
The service has been recognised as a highly valuable service to people living with dementia and their family carers during the pandemic.
How to access the Service
Our day care at home care coordinators will carry out an initial assessment on clients. To help with this assessment we ask that a referral form is completed and sent to the day care at home care service you are interested in.
