Dementia Home Care

Dementia Home Care in Melbourne - We Provide Support Services For Dementia Patients

The Dementia Care Melbourne Trusts

Palliative care at a hospice or hospital can make clients feel more like patients than people. That’s why we take a different approach, bringing the quality care you would expect from a hospital to your own home.


We can assist family carers on occasion or provide full 24/7 palliative care support, allowing you to spend quality time with their loved ones without worry.


Loved ones may be unable to take on the tasks needed to provide palliative care at home, but that shouldn’t mean that a person has to spend the rest of their life in a hospital or hospice. That’s why at Endeavour In Home Care, we offer all the support needed to ensure that our clients’ final days are spent in their own home.


We offer in-home palliative care for people living with a life-limiting illness, allowing you to live comfortably in a familiar environment and enjoy the best quality of life possible. Although we specialise in end of life care services for older Australians, we provide assistance to people of all ages in Melbourne.

What Is Dementia?

Dementia Australia defines dementia as follows:


"Dementia describes a collection of symptoms that are caused by disorders affecting the brain. It is not one specific disease. Dementia affects thinking, behaviour and the ability to perform everyday tasks. Brain function is affected enough to interfere with the person’s normal social or working life."

Although the most common form of dementia is Alzheimer’s disease, accounting for around 60% of cases, there are many types of dementia – in fact, there are over 100 diseases that can cause dementia.

In general, those living with dementia will likely experience three phases: Early Dementia, Moderate Dementia, and Advanced Dementia. The first stage can often be missed by friends and family members, as it is easier to cover up. A person may be experiencing some memory loss, but otherwise function fine.

As the dementia progresses, however, they may experience more psychological symptoms such as becoming confused regarding the time or place, getting lost if in unfamiliar surroundings, forgetting recent events and things like food on the stove, and become frustrated or distressed.

People at the last stage will require a great deal of specialised care, whether by a family member or a support service. They are limited in their decision making and often unable to fully care for themselves on an everyday basis. At this point, you many want to consider consulting aged care services that specialise in dementia, such as EIH Care.

If you need more information about dementia care options, feel free to reach out to our team. We aim to provide timely and helpful advice to our clients and their family so that they can make the best decision.

Our Dementia Care Services

When you work with EIH Care, you will be given a care manager and dedicated nurses who will ensure that you receive consistent companionship and care. Below are some of the home care services we can provide.

Personal Care


We help our clients with daily living, providing a stress-free and safe home environment. Our care workers look after your safety even in situations of sundowning, confusion or anxiety. We ensure that your routine is as normal and stimulating as possible with nutritious meals, personal and home cleaning, and engaging in your favourite hobbies.


Having an extremely attentive care worker also reduces the risk of falls and injury, helping avoid a stressful hospital stay.

Community participation


Ensuring that our clients have access to the emotional support from friends and community engagement is vital to their wellbeing. That’s why we do our best to facilitate social interaction and involvement, arranging transport and everything you need to stay engage in community life. Our carers are also specifically paired with our clients to provide companionship and support.

Nursing Care


Our registered and enrolled nurses will be able to work with your doctors to ensure that your health is taken care of. We can provide health monitoring, medication support, wound care, and more. We also provide palliative care, ensuring that you are comfortable in your home during the last period of your life.

Respite Care


If primary or family carers require a break from their duties or someone to help out in an emergency, we can be of assistance. Our respite services can be utilised as long as you need, whether it be a couple of hours, several days, or even longer. We also provide overnight care.

Wondering about how you can pay for dementia home services?

You may be able to receive financial support from government programs such as Home Care Packages, the NDIS, and the Commonwealth Health Support Program (CHSP). Our aged care assessment team will be able to provide more information about the options available to you during your initial meeting.
