We take a holistic view of wellbeing. Allied health professionals, like physiotherapists, occupational therapists, or psychologists, are part of our care team.
They provide therapies and rehabilitation to keep residents as healthy and active as possible. We also offer tailored therapeutic activities, such as music therapy and reminiscence programs, to stimulate memory and joy.
Support for carers and family
Support for carers and family
We know that as a family carer, you need support too.
VMCH provides options like short-term respite care to give you a much-needed break when you need it. We also run dementia-friendly social support groups and workshops where you and your loved one can participate in enjoyable activities together in an understanding environment.
These groups let you connect with other carers, share experiences, and access advice and resources – all while your loved one is safely included in the fun. Our goal is to ensure you have the respite, knowledge and peer support to maintain your own wellbeing.
