AccessPlus has not yet ventured into Aged Care - but I would like to share this as it resonates with me with the care and support I provide for my mum who has Dementia.

I’m hoping it might reach just one person that it may help them and encourage them.

Supporting a person living with dementia requires careful planning, consistency and a strong understanding of how routine and structure impact wellbeing.

Routine is essential. Predictable daily structure helps reduce confusion, distress and anxiety, and provides a sense of safety and familiarity. When routine is consistent, people living with dementia are better able to engage, function and feel secure.

Formal support plays a critical role. Regular, planned support times with trained carers allow for assistance with daily routines, self-care and household tasks in a calm and respectful way. This supports dignity, independence and continuity of care, while also reducing the risk of overwhelm and decline.

Informal support from family and friends is equally important but it works best when it complements, rather than replaces, formal support. Spreading informal social contact across the week and weekends, outside of scheduled support times, helps maintain connection and reduces feelings of loneliness without disrupting established routines.

When formal support provides structure and consistency, and informal support is thoughtfully spaced around it, the person living with dementia benefits from both stability and meaningful social connection. This balance is key to emotional wellbeing and long-term sustainability of care.

Decisions around dementia care are often questioned, but they are not made lightly. They are based on evidence-informed practice, professional guidance, and a deep understanding of the individual’s needs, capacity and wellbeing.

For anyone supporting a person living with dementia, organisations such as Dementia Australia provide invaluable education, guidance and support. Accessing professional advice helps families make informed decisions and advocate effectively.

Dementia care is not about doing everything at once, it is about thoughtful coordination, consistency and compassion, delivered through both formal and informal supports working together.

Check out Dementia Australia - their support is amazing.

From my heart to yours… ❤️

I can keep sharing other businesses’ posts, letting you know what workshop is on with this company or that one… OR I can open up and share who I truly am as the business owner of AccessPlus Solutions – Support Coordination.

My name is Julie Bush, and I am the owner and founder of AccessPlus Solutions.

I have an amazing husband, and together we care for my elderly mother who has been diagnosed with dementia. I have two sons, a daughter, and a lot of animals who bring me joy. 😊

I never thought I would be the one caring for my Mum. I always imagined my sister would, because they’ve always been so close. I’ve been considered the “black sheep of the family,” judged throughout my life for every mistake.

Over the past few years, I’ve dedicated myself to helping people with disabilities. I started my own NDIS Support Coordination business because all I’ve ever wanted is to help people. There were so many times in my life when I needed support and no one was there. I don’t want anyone else to feel that desperation, loneliness, or emotional struggle.

I remarried here in Geraldton in 2019, and with a wonderful, supportive husband, we have raised my son who is about to turn 20. He has struggled with bullying and isolation for being “different”—being autistic.

There were many times I felt like a failure as a mother, judged by others who didn’t understand him, didn’t understand us, or didn’t understand autism. Those moments were heartbreaking. The impact of that judgment still affects him today. Connection, acceptance, and love mean everything to him, but they can be so hard to find and hold onto.

I see my beautiful Mum in a similar way. She has spent her life trying to be accepted and loved, trying to build close friendships. I see her as one of the many wonderful women of her generation who masked their struggles and now sit in that elderly, undiagnosed ASD/Asperger’s category while also facing dementia.

Helping others fills my heart. It soothes me. It fills the emptiness created by my own traumas and experiences. It helps me connect deeply with people, because I’ve lived through so much myself.

I welcome you to come and have a chat. I love what I’m creating. I have beautiful staff, and together we keep it real.

Anytime you want to come in for a chat and a cuppa, please come see us. You don’t need to sign up with us — there’s no agenda. Just come and say hello.

My reason for sharing this is so you know that I’m a real person who has had real struggles. I get it. I’m not judgmental. I’m confidential. And I genuinely want to make a difference and help where I can.

Thank you for taking the time to read this. ❤️
