DutchCare is an industry leader in Aged Care and continues to make significant contribution to all older Australians. All our homes provide care for people with Alzheimer's disease or other types of dementia. Specific needs are discussed at length prior to admission to ensure that individual care and safety needs are met. At DutchCare we embrace the Eden philospophy meaning that we aim to improve the wellbeing of the Elders by transforming the communities in which they live by fighting the three plagues of loneliness boredom and helplessness. Elders are encouraged to make their own decisions and to be involved in daily activities such as personal care home and garden care looking after pets or joining the many activities that take place within our home and community. All homes consist of smaller households (approx 15 Elders each) and all Elders have their private room with en-suite bathroom. All efforts are made to establish maximum staff continuity and as a result the care is usually provided by someone familiar. We recognize the importance of language and many of our staff are bilingual.
