Dementia Care Perth

For many families, the idea of moving a loved one into an unfamiliar place brings even more worry. It’s not just about a new environment, it's about losing the rhythm of home. The way the light falls through their bedroom window, the sound of a clock they’ve heard for decades, even the path from the kitchen to the lounge. These little things matter more than we often realise. And for someone living with dementia, they can bring a kind of comfort that nothing else can.

That’s why in-home care can make such a quiet but powerful difference. It helps keep routines steady, days gentle, and life surrounded by what’s still familiar. It’s not about doing everything for them, it's about helping them hold on to who they are, in the place they know best.

This is where we step in.

At Support Network, we walk beside families across Perth who are navigating the slow, shifting journey of dementia. We bring care that’s thoughtful, respectful, and built around the person, not just the diagnosis. If you’re looking for support that feels human, steady, and close to home, call us on 1300 671 931. Let’s talk through what matters most to you and your loved one.

Our Approach to In-Home Dementia Care

Caring for someone with dementia isn’t just about helping them through the day it’s about holding on to who they are while the world around them starts to feel different. Our care is shaped around the person, not just the condition. There’s no rigid formula, no one-size-fits-all model—because no two people live with dementia the same way.

We begin with the person, not the illness

Before anything else, we take time to understand who your loved one is—their story, their routines, what makes them smile on a quiet day. Our care plans aren’t pulled from a template; they’re shaped by the person’s stage of dementia, their personality, and what matters most to them. If someone’s always loved gardening, we find ways to keep that spark alive. If they light up at old family stories, we hold space for those moments.

Gentle routines, familiar faces, and a steady hand

Every plan we build has structure but not the kind that feels cold or clinical. It’s the kind that gently holds the day together. We think about when they feel most alert, what helps them feel calm, and how to make each part of the day a little easier. Our carers strike a balance between emotional support and professional care, offering help without taking over.

Care that connects on a deeper level

We weave in therapeutic strategies that don’t feel like “treatments,” but instead feel natural and meaningful:

• Reminiscence therapy brings back stories from the past that still live inside them.
• Validation therapy helps ease distress by honouring their emotions in the moment.
• Music and memory taps into the rhythms and songs that never quite fade.

All of this is designed to bring a little peace, a little independence, and moments of joy—even in difficult days.

And yes, we support carers too

You’re not expected to carry this alone. Whether it’s someone to lean on, someone to ask questions, or just a moment to breathe—we’re here for you too. Support Network is just as much about helping families as it is about helping the person receiving care. Because in the end, you matter just as much.

What We Offer: Services That Fit Your Life

We tailor care around your home, your family, your needs. No fixed schedules or clinical agendas. Just the right kind of help, at the right time, shaped to work within your day—not the other way around.

Here’s what we quietly, respectfully, and wholeheartedly offer in our in-home dementia care across Perth:

Personal care, handled with dignity

We understand how delicate personal care can be. From morning routines to evening wind-downs, we help with grooming, toileting, and hygiene in ways that feel natural and never intrusive. It's about preserving dignity, not taking it away.

Medication reminders and health coordination

Forgetfulness is part of the journey, and missing medication can quickly turn into something bigger. We step in with gentle prompts and, when needed, coordinate with GPs, nurses, or specialists to keep health on track.

Nutrition and meals, made with care

Preparing meals might seem simple—until it becomes overwhelming. Whether it’s planning meals that are easy to chew or helping at mealtime when confusion sets in, we bring care to the table. We look at likes, dislikes, health needs, and daily habits.

A safer home environment

Wandering, forgetfulness, misplaced items, or an open door in the middle of the night—it’s these quiet risks we help manage. Our team keeps a watchful eye on safety without making home feel like a hospital.

More than just company—true companionship

Loneliness can creep in even when someone’s not alone. We bring conversation, laughter, gentle prompts for puzzles or reading, and small ways to keep the mind engaged. These moments of connection often bring the most calm.

Gentle support with mobility

Getting out of a chair or walking to the kitchen shouldn’t feel like climbing a mountain. Whether it’s a helping hand, a walking aid, or just the reassurance of someone nearby, we assist with all mobility needs while respecting independence.

Giving carers time to rest—without guilt

Family caregivers carry a lot, often without pause. Our respite care offers you a break that isn’t rushed or filled with worry. Step out, catch your breath, or take a full day—knowing your loved one is in safe, kind hands.

Help around the house, quietly and kindly

Laundry piles up, dishes sneak into the sink, beds need changing—life doesn’t stop. We lend a hand with domestic chores so your focus can stay where it matters. We work quietly in the background, helping your home stay steady.

Support when the hours stretch longer

We can be there for short daily visits, or stay overnight. If your situation calls for round-the-clock care, we build a 24/7 plan that keeps your loved one safe and supported, even through the toughest hours.

When behaviour changes, we don’t back away

Sometimes dementia brings agitation, confusion, or sudden changes in mood. It’s not easy. Our team is trained to respond with calm strategies, not force—meeting behaviour with patience, not resistance.

End-of-life care that’s quiet, present, and kind

If the time comes where the journey nears its end, we offer gentle care that brings peace to both your loved one and your family. We walk quietly alongside you, helping make those final days as comforting as possible.

Every home is different. Every family needs something a little specific. We don't believe in care that's handed out like a checklist. We listen, we learn, and we walk in slowly—bringing the kind of support that blends in gently, and becomes a part of your day, not a disruption.

If you’d like to talk about what’s possible, call 1300 671 931. We’re here to help make life at home feel manageable again—for your loved one, and for you.

How In-Home Dementia Care Helps Everyone

Dementia doesn’t just change the person who’s been diagnosed. It changes the pace of the whole household. It shows up in conversations, in sleep patterns, in your plans for the week ahead. What starts with small forgetful moments slowly starts shifting the way everyone moves around the home.

That’s why in-home care isn't just about assistance—it’s about balance. It offers breathing room where there’s been none. It lets everyone hold on to what matters without feeling stretched thin.

Let’s talk about how this kind of care helps both sides of the story.

For the Person Living with Dementia

Their routine stays familiar

There's a comfort in brushing your teeth in your own bathroom or sitting in the same spot for breakfast each morning. Small routines may not seem like much, but for someone with dementia, they’re steady ground. When they stay in their own space, those rhythms are easier to keep.

Less confusion, less upset

Moving into new environments, seeing new faces, adjusting to different routines—it can all be overwhelming. Being at home reduces the chances of that confusion building into distress. They know where they are. They don’t have to figure things out all over again.

The little things stay within reach

Maybe it’s the way the cat curls up beside them every afternoon. Or the ticking clock they’ve had for years. These things matter. They hold memory, even when memory is hard to reach. Being at home keeps those familiar things close. That connection stays stronger for longer.

For the Carer or Family

You’re not doing it all on your own

It’s hard to explain how heavy the days can feel until you’re in the thick of them. Some days, you’re okay. Other days, you’re exhausted before breakfast. Having someone come in to share that load changes the whole tone of the day.

You can rest without feeling guilty

There’s a kind of tiredness that sneaks in quietly when you’ve been doing this for a while. And sometimes, it’s hard to step away even when you know you should. In-home support gives you space to rest—not because you’re giving up, but because you're human.

You get time with them, not just tasks

When every day is full of reminders, routines, and worry, the relationship starts to feel like a checklist. But when someone helps carry the practical parts, you get time for the gentle ones. Sitting together. Sharing old stories. Just being in the same room without a list of things to do.

In-home dementia care doesn’t erase the hard parts—but it does soften them. It makes space for moments that might’ve otherwise been missed. It brings some steadiness back into a life that’s been shifting too fast. And it does all of that while letting everyone stay where love already lives—at home.

Who We Support

There’s no single path through dementia. Some families come to us just after a diagnosis, trying to make sense of what’s ahead. Others have been walking this road for years and need help now—urgently. Wherever you are, we’re here to step in gently, without fuss.

We support:

• People living with early, moderate, or advanced stages of dementia—care shaped to fit where they are today, and where they might be tomorrow.
• Families processing a new diagnosis, trying to find a way forward that doesn’t feel overwhelming.
• Carers who need time to breathe, rest, or simply get things done without worry.
• Those waiting for permanent residential placement and needing support to manage at home in the meantime.
• Clients who are already receiving Home Care Packages or NDIS funding and need help putting it to good use.
• Private-paying clients looking for flexible care without red tape.

You don’t need to tick every box. You don’t even need to know what you need yet. If dementia is part of your life now, we can find a way to support you through it—gently, steadily, and with the respect your family deserves.

Care Plan Design & How It Works

We keep the process simple, thoughtful, and focused on what matters. No overwhelm. No jargon. Just a step-by-step way to get the care in place—quickly if needed, gradually if you’d prefer.

Step 1: Reach out Give us a call, send an enquiry—whatever suits you. We’ll listen first, no pressure, no forms right away.

Step 2: We visit you We’ll come to your home to sit down, talk through what’s happening, and get a feel for how we can help. Every home is different. Every need is personal.

Step 3: A plan, made just for you We design a care plan that fits your family. It can start small, focus on just a few hours a week, or include round-the-clock support. We look at short-term needs and long-term goals.

Step 4: Care begins—and stays flexible Once care starts, we keep checking in. We adjust things as symptoms shift or as family life changes. What works now might need tweaking later, and that’s okay.

We also know life doesn’t wait—so if you need urgent care, we can move fast. If you’d rather ease into it, we’ll take it slow. It’s your pace, your home, your plan.

Funding & Support
