In short.
- 01
For whom: NDIS participants living with dementia whose current home or support can no longer keep up.
- 02
Clinical care: Diagnosis and treatment remain with the GP, specialists and allied health team.
- 03
What changes: The home, routine and team are adapted as abilities change.
A familiar home can start to feel unfamiliar
A routine once managed alone may need prompting. A room can become confusing after dark. The answer is not simply more hours of support: the home and the plan need to adjust together.
Myxa works with the participant and the people they want involved to understand what still feels familiar and what now needs help.
Make space for recognition
Small, consistent details help make a home easier to navigate and a day easier to follow.
The home remembers.
- 01Personal
Things they know
Personal belongings, photographs and a room arranged around the person—not a generic setting.
- 02Consistent
Places that stay put
Keep the route to everyday places and the layout as predictable as possible.
- 04Human
Familiar faces
A consistent group of staff makes the support around the person more recognisable.
Keep the day theirs
Support begins with the person's own history, communication, preferences and routines – not a standard timetable.
- Next / 01
Begin with what matters
Learn the food, music, people and rituals that make the day recognisable.
- Next / 02
Notice what has changed
When someone is distressed, look at the environment, pain and unfamiliarity before responding.
Next / 03Adapt, without taking over
Update the support plan as abilities change, while preserving the person's choices and what they can still do.
One plan.
A connected team.
Support workers follow a person-specific plan, with house leadership and allied health input as needed. Myxa delivers daily disability support; the GP, specialists and allied health team make clinical decisions.
Safeguards
If PRN medication or a restrictive practice is part of a person's support, staff must work to the individual plan and applicable authorization. After-hours concerns follow an escalation path.
- Support workers
- Consistent daily support and induction for the participant's needs.
- House leadership
- Oversight so the plan is followed and changes are noticed.
- Clinical team
- Medical and allied health guidance for treatment and specialist needs.
There is room for
your questions.
We discuss the situation in front of us: what has changed, what still works, and what the person wants.
We assess the person's needs with you and say early if Myxa cannot provide a suitable home and team.
That is not a decision Myxa makes for them. We discuss whether a supported home is an option for this participant.
Yes, where the person wants that involvement, in their routine, support plan and decisions.
The right fit
is individual
We look at the home's layout, the people already living there, staffing and the support the participant needs.
Availability is discussed for each referral.
