About Us
In the quiet moments between memories, we stand with you. The Dementia Foundation is more than a care service – we’re a lifeline of hope for West Australians navigating the complex journey of young onset dementia.
Our team arrives each day with a heartfelt promise: to transform challenges into opportunities, to turn uncertainty into connection, and to ensure that every individual we support continues to flourish, despite the obstacles life may present. We don’t just provide services; we open doors to possibility, creating pathways that preserve dignity, spark joy, and celebrate the unique spirit of each person in our care.
We’re a team of driven and compassionate individuals who come to work every day with one goal; to help people in need live their best lives. We do this by making access to home and community care, health services, social activities and support coordination easy and reliable.
Our Journey
Our story began with a simple, powerful belief: that a diagnosis is not the end of a journey, but a different beginning. What started as a compassionate vision has blossomed into a comprehensive support network that reimagines dementia care. We’ve listened deeply, learned profoundly, and loved unconditionally – drawing inspiration from the families who have trusted us with their most precious relationships.
The spirit of Western Australia runs through everything we do, infusing our work with resilience and hope. We’ve crafted innovative care approaches that don’t just support – they illuminate. Our purpose-designed environments are more than spaces; they are sanctuaries of self-esteem, independence, and unbroken human connection.
Our Story
Some stories start with a problem. Ours started with a promise. When disability and aged care professionals came together, they saw beyond a gap in services – they saw people. They witnessed families struggling and lives waiting to be understood and supported.
The Dementia Foundation emerged from a radical notion: that young onset dementia doesn’t define a person – it’s simply part of their unique journey. We are rooted in the true blue West Australian values of mateship and generosity, believing in the transformative power of a helping hand, the strength found in social connection, and the inherent dignity of every human experience. Our processes have evolved, our strategies have sharpened. But our heart remains unchanged: helping others embrace life is not just a job. It is a profound privilege that we hold with the utmost respect and compassion.
