Dementia Mate Wareware Home Share is a small, personalised group environment where a person with dementia mate wareware can enjoy companionship and activities close to home one day a week.
Our programmes provide activities and social interaction in a small group environment, recognising the special needs of those with cognitive impairment/dementia mate wareware.
Our Home Share programme is a collaborative initiative that brings together a network of providers and agencies across Te Waipounamu, with a shared commitment to enhancing the life of a person with mate wareware and their whānau.
Central to the programme is:
Whānau Involvement: Encouraging family participation in care and support.
Holistic Care: Addressing physical, emotional, and spiritual well-being.
Kaumātua Support: Guidance and wisdom from our elders.
Self-determination: A range of activities appropriate to the needs and interests of those within the group.
Existing groups are operational within Oamaru and Balclutha, with a new group being established in Dunedin which is specifically tailored for our Māori whānau and includes culturally relevant, and familiar and meaningful practices.
The Dementia Mate Wareware Home Share programme is open for enquiries. If you feel your loved one could benefit from participating in one of our Dementia Mate Wareware groups, please get in touch. Call Julianne on 03 447 7115.
