Dementia Support Program
SWANS - Supporting Wellbeing and Nurturing Strength
A program offering emotional, physical and social support for people living with Dementia.
With compassionate care and support, individuals with dementia can maintain a sense of identity and find new ways to experience life. The Swan symbolises transformation, being a journey rather than a destination. This program is grounded in patience and tenderness, but always Supporting Wellness and Nurturing Strength – SWANS.
Offering warmth through gentle words and a calming environment. Attention and listening actively with respect and nurturing through nutritious food, and engaging activities, promoting security and peace of mind.
Dementia trained staff provide a comforting environment whilst encouraging active participation and social interactions specifically designed to encourage creativity and wellness for both individuals and those caring for their loved one living with dementia.
Dementia can cause an “inner transformation” where a person’s sense of self shifts as their memory fades, leading to changes in their perception of reality, behaviours, and relationships, but this does not mean the self is lost.
