Welcome to Caladenia
Caladenia Dementia Care is a non-profit care centre for people living with dementia, founded in 1983. It is located in a purpose-designed building at Mooroolbark, in Melbourne's outer east. Our Day Centre runs five days per week of dementia-specific programs, overseen by 14 qualified staff and 42 trained volunteers. Currently we care for a total of 54 clients. Our programs aim to promote self-esteem for the person living with dementia and to give friends and family members a break, knowing that their loved one is happy, occupied and safe. Our services are available to anyone with dementia - from very early stage, or first diagnosis - to separate programs for people with more advanced dementia. Caladenia Dementia Care is supported by funding from the Commonwealth and Victorian Governments under the HACC program. Caladenia also receives funds from the Yarra Ranges Council, and some private donations. It is administered by a full-time Manager and a volunteer Board of Directors.

THANK YOU!
Our fundraising appeal is going strong, with many of you having contributed over the last year. But despite our efforts - this is only a drop in the $1.7 million bucket. Are you able to help in any way?
If you have any ideas, or would like to help, or donate - please feel free to contact us at any time. |
Help us raise $1.7 million to build a dementia specific overnight respite facility. Your donation is being sought now to start the appeal to achieve this challenge.
