| Extended Aged Care at Home Dementia (EACHD) packages are individually planned and coordinated packages of care, tailored to support older people with dementia and high level care needs to remain at home.
Extended Aged Care at Home Dementia (EACHD) packages provide the same full range of services that EACH packages provide including: • registered nursing care • care by an allied health professional such as a physiotherapist or podiatrist • personal care • transport to appointments • social support • home help EACHD packages also offer service approaches and strategies to meet the specific needs of care recipients with dementia who experience behaviours which may impact their daily quality of life. Who can access the service? Any person who has been assessed as requiring high level care by an Aged Care Assessment Team (ACAT). Your GP can refer you to the ACAT for your Local Government Area (LGA). Contact details are also available from your local public hospital. We currently provide EACHD packages in the Northern Beaches. |
