Extended Aged Care at Home Dementia (EACHD) packages provide high levels of support to older Australians with dementia to assist them to remain living in their own homes.

Extended Aged Care at Home Dementia (EACHD) packages are individually planned and coordinated packages of care tailored to help older Australians who experience difficulties in their daily life because of behavioural and psychological symptoms associated with their dementia.

EACHD packages are very flexible and are designed to help with individual care needs. The packages provide the same full range of services that EACH packages provide including:
• Registered nursing care;
• Care by an allied health professional such as a physiotherapist, podiatrist or other type of allied health care
• Personal care
• Transport to appointments
• Social support
• Home help
• Assistance with oxygen and/or enteral feeding

However, EACHD packages also offer service approaches and strategies to meet the specific needs of care recipients with dementia who experience behaviours which may impact their daily quality of life.

To receive a EACHD package, you must be assessed by an Aged Care Assessment Team (ACAT) as requiring high level care and:
• Experience behaviours and psychological symptoms associated with dementia that is significantly impacting upon your ability to live independently in the community;
• Require a high level of residential care;
• Prefer to receive an EACHD package; and
• Are able to live at home with the support of an EACHD package.
