Dementia Care at Home
Compassionate Support for Individuals and Families
Dementia affects not only the person diagnosed, but also their loved ones. Families often face significant challenges in providing the right level of care while trying to preserve their loved one’s quality of life. Older adults living with dementia thrive best when they feel valued, supported, and meaningfully engaged. Without regular stimulation, individuals may experience increased restlessness, frustration, and a decline in emotional and physical well-being—affecting both them and their families.
At Sunshine CarePlus, we have extensive experience supporting individuals living with dementia in the comfort of their homes across South Australia. We also provide specialised support to people with advanced dementia residing in residential aged care facilities, working closely with staff to meet complex care needs.
Our compassionate team engages clients in tailored activities including games, music appreciation, and art sessions. We focus on promoting emotional well-being and preserving dignity at every stage of care. Our professional nursing team provides hands-on support with:
- Showering and hygiene
- Oral and dental care
- Toileting
- Positive behaviour strategies
- Emotional reassurance—especially when care facility staff face challenges in delivering these services.
Our Dementia Care Services Include:
- Home Nursing Care – Professional nursing support for complex care needs
- Activities of Daily Living (ADLs) – Assistance with bathing, grooming, dressing, and toileting
- Companionship – Social interaction and emotional support to reduce isolation
- Medical Escort Services – Support during medical appointments, including transport and advocacy
- Respite Care – Giving family caregivers a much-needed break with trusted short-term care
- Home Therapy – Tailored sessions such as music therapy, gentle exercise, cognitive stimulation, and reminiscence activities
Let us walk this journey with you—providing dignified, person-centred dementia care that honours the individual and supports the family.
A Compassionate Approach to Dementia Care
Providing dementia care at home requires experience, empathy, and a personalised approach. Our home care services are thoughtfully designed to assist with daily routines, personal care, and emotional support, helping individuals live safely and comfortably in familiar surroundings.
Care that feels personal– At Sunshine CarePlus, we believe that truly exceptional care begins with understanding you as an individual. That’s why we offer the expertise of a Clinical Nurse Consultant to conduct a comprehensive in-home assessment. We take the time to listen—to you and your family—valuing your insights and preferences to develop a uniquely personalised care plan that reflects your health needs, lifestyle, and goals. With us, care is not just clinical—it’s compassionate, respectful, and tailored just for you.
Innovation meets wellness– At Sunshine CarePlus, we believe that innovation plays a vital role in enhancing wellness. Our dedicated staff are creative and forward-thinking, designing personalised activities that suit each client’s unique interests, abilities, and stage of dementia. From music and art therapy to cognitive games and sensory engagement, we tailor every interaction to promote joy, connection, and well-being—right in the comfort of home.
Staying Engaged, Staying You. – At Sunshine CarePlus, we believe staying mentally, emotionally, and socially active is key to well-being—especially as we age. That’s why we design personalised activities that stimulate the mind, lift the spirit, and encourage connection. Our care team creates tailored programs—such as music, art, gentle movement, and cognitive games—to support memory, boost mood, and bring joy to daily life. We help you stay involved in life through conversation, hobbies, and community, supporting your independence and sense of purpose every step of the way.
