ACH Group understands that life as a carer can be demanding.

Let us help you take a break, knowing your loved one is in good hands with our long day respite for people living with moderate to high levels of memory loss or dementia.
Participants meet up in a social environment and have a daily program based on Montessori principles that focuses on maintaining and improving their current skills and capabilities.

The program includes a daily exercise program led by a qualified fitness instructor, Monday singing/ drama class, Tuesday Mosaics class and Wednesday art class, all led by qualified teachers. The program is reviewed every 10 weeks by an Occupational Therapist and Group Planner to ensure it continues to best support participants.
A nutritional lunch designed in consultation with a dietitian is provided daily, as well as a light morning and afternoon tea.

Located in the beautiful McLaren Vale region with opportunities to connect and be part of the local community.
