Dementia Care in Melbourne
Specialised dementia care delivered at home and in our purpose-designed residential dementia wing. Dementia-trained staff. Secure, calming environments. Person-centred approaches that reduce distress and uphold dignity for both the person and their family.
Our Approach
Person-centred dementia care
We follow evidence-based dementia care principles that put the person — not the symptoms — at the centre of every decision.
Person-Centred Care
We learn each person’s life story, preferences, routines and what brings them joy. Care is built around who they are.
Secure Environments
Our dementia wing is designed for safe wandering, with intuitive layouts, calming colours, and discreet security.
Dementia-Trained Team
Every staff member completes specialised dementia training. Senior carers hold further qualifications.
Behavioural Support
Where behaviours of concern emerge, we use evidence-based, non-pharmacological approaches first.
Daily Meaningful Activity
Families are partners in care. We involve you in planning, share regular updates, and offer family support sessions.
Family Partnership
Families are partners in care. We involve you in planning, share regular updates, and offer family support sessions.
Where we deliver dementia care
My Evervale supports people living with dementia through three pathways:
1. At home
Many people with dementia, especially in earlier stages, can stay home with the right support. We provide:
- Dementia-aware personal care
- Cognitive stimulation programs
- Carer respite and family support
- Home modifications for safety
- Allied health (OT for cognitive strategies, speech for communication)
2. In our residential dementia wing
Our purpose-designed dementia wing offers:
- 24/7 dementia-trained nursing and care
- Secure outdoor garden with safe walking paths
- Sensory and reminiscence rooms
- Small-group living to reduce overstimulation
- Specialised behaviour support clinicians on call
3. Through respite
Family carers of people with dementia often burn out. We offer in-home respite and short-stay residential dementia respite giving carers a break and the person familiarity with the home before any longer-term move.
Signs it might be time to talk to us
- Increasing confusion, wandering or getting lost
- Falls or near-misses at home
- Difficulty with daily tasks (medications, meals, hygiene)
- Behaviour changes — agitation, sundowning, distress
- Carer exhaustion or your own health declining
