Dementia home care
Specialist support, in the place that matters most.
Home is where we begin.
For many people living with dementia, staying at home isn't just a preference. It's essential to their wellbeing. Routine, familiarity and environment are deeply connected to quality of life.
Every support worker we place is trained specifically in dementia, not general disability support. They know how to move through a home, how to communicate in ways that reduce distress, and how to support independence at every stage.
This isn't a matching agency. Every person we place is employed by us, trained to our standard and backed by our clinical team.
What we offer.
Personal care and daily living.
Showering, dressing, grooming, continence and meals, with dignity and patience.
Domestic assistance.
A home that stays safe, comfortable and familiar.
Companionship and social support.
Connection and engagement, because isolation speeds up decline.
Community access.
Keeping the routines and places that matter, with specialist support. See Community Participation.
Overnight support.
Active overnight or sleepover support, so nights are safe and families can sleep.
Behaviour informed care.
Workers trained to understand, de-escalate and connect, not just manage.
Need clinical support too? See Community Nursing and High Intensity and Complex Care.
Who it's for.
- People living at home alone or with family
- Family carers who need regular, reliable help

How it works.
Free first conversation.
We listen to what's happening and explain the options, including funding.
Home visit.
We meet the person at home and learn their routines, history, likes, dislikes and what calms them.
A matched team within 4 days.
Trained on the person's own plans and introduced before the first shift.
Ongoing support.
The same small team, regular reviews and changes as needs change.
No revolving door
Support in days, not months.
We match a dementia trained worker within 4 days, and every worker is trained on the person's own plans before their first shift. The same faces, every week.

Where it's available.
Dementia home care is available across all of Queensland.
How it's funded.
Home care is funded from Core Supports in the person's NDIS plan, mainly Assistance with Daily Life, with community access funded from Assistance with Social, Economic and Community Participation. We work with NDIA managed, plan managed and self managed plans, and charge within NDIS price limits.
“Mum has Lewy Body Dementia. Her needs change day to day, sometimes hour to hour. We'd tried three different agencies before Dementia Care Queensland and none of them could keep up. Now, the same two workers come every week. They know her routines. They know her triggers. They know when she's having a hard day before she does. That consistency, that knowledge, has changed everything for our family.”
