💜 Dementia Action Week (15–21 Sept 2025)
Theme: “Nobody can do it alone.”

💜Dementia doesn’t just affect the person living with the condition — it also touches their families, friends, and the wider community. Too often, people impacted by dementia experience loneliness and isolation when others don’t know how to respond.

At Prime Garden, we see every day how patience, routine, and genuine connection make a difference. This week, let’s make sure no one faces the journey alone.

This week, we invite you to:

Reach out to someone living with dementia or a carer—send a message, make a call, or drop by for a friendly chat.

✨Communicate with kindness—slow down, use simple sentences, listen without correcting.

✨Help reduce stigma—share awareness, use respectful language, include people in everyday activities.

✨Create dementia-friendly spaces—clear signage, good lighting, and predictable routines at home and in community areas.

🌸Our commitment at Prime Garden: a warm, home-like environment, respectful care, bilingual support, and activities that spark joy and connection. At Prime Garden, we believe small actions can make a big difference. Let’s stand together this week — and every week — to ensure no one feels alone on this journey. 🌸
DM or call us on 03 9890 4488 if you’d like to learn more or visit.

🌿 Aged Care Reform Is Coming – Are You Ready for November 2025?
Big changes are coming to Australia’s aged care system. Starting 1 November 2025, the Support at Home program will replace the current Home Care Package (HCP) and Short-Term Restorative Care (STRC).

🛑 Don't risk losing thousands just because you missed the update!

🔍 What’s Changing?
✅ Funding will be released quarterly, not annually
⛔ Unused funds won’t roll over — you can only keep $1,000 or 10% (whichever is greater)
✅ Respite Care remains important — plan ahead to reduce carer stress
✅ Daily living items (like groceries, cleaning, utilities) may now need out-of-pocket contributions, depending on your income/assets
✅ HCP Levels 1–4 will change to 8 bands for more tailored support
✅ Clinical care stays fully funded

💡 New Funding Streams:
Restorative Care – short-term rehab support, up to 12 weeks

End-of-Life Pathway – better palliative care funding

Assistive Tech & Home Mods – separately funded now (won’t drain your main care budget)

📌 If you already have an HCP approved before Sep 2024, the "No Worse Off" guarantee applies—your support won’t be reduced.

🏡 Why Now Is the Smart Time to Move into an SRS?
We are a Supported Residential Service (SRS) in Mont Albert North, just minutes from Box Hill.
We accept clients with an approved Home Care Package—no deposit, no income test.

👵👴 Our all-inclusive care includes:
🍽️ Meals | 🚿 Showering & personal care | 💊 Medication reminders | 🧡 Culturally familiar environment | 👪 Family-friendly visiting | 💬 Bilingual support & guidance | 🎉Activity and Social Engagement

📞 Need help navigating the changes?
💬 DM us or comment below or contact 03 9890 4488 — we’ll help you:
✔️ Plan your Respite Care
✔️ Make the most of your HCP funding
✔️ Avoid losing unused funds

📣 Want to secure your HCP before the changes hit?
Apply now via My Aged Care or call 1800 200 422 to book your ACAT/IAT assessment.
👉 The earlier you apply, the more time you have to plan, access new services & protect your entitlements.

❤️ Caring for parents or yourself doesn’t have to be a burden.
It can be a peace-of-mind choice—for you, and for them.
