DEMENTIA HOMECARE CENTRE (DHCSB)          

An affiliate of the Alzheimer’s Disease Foundation Malaysia


Dear Caregivers / Members,

We are very pleased to announce that Dementia Homecare Centre Sdn Bhd (DHCSB) , an affiliate of the Alzheimer's Disease Foundation Malaysia (ADFM)  has started operating it’s DEMENTIA HOMECARE CENTRE at Telok Panglima Garang, Kuala Langat, Selangor, Malaysia, since April 2011, to take in your loved ones afflicted with AD or Dementias.

In addition, ADFM at present operates 2 Daycare Centres - One in KUALA LUMPUR and the other in PETALING JAYA.

Our affiliates:
JOHORE BAHRU, Johore Bahru Alzheimer’s Disease Support Association (JOBADA) has been operating a Daycare Centre for some years now.
IPOH, Dementia Society Perak, our latest, is in the process of starting one, and
MELAKA is also working on having a Centre.

ADFM’s long term objective is to encourage and help the setting up of Daycare Centres in every State to serve their local communities.

The main purpose of Daycare Centres is to provide respite care for carers of people afflicted with Alzheimer’s Disease or other Dementias so that they may fulfill other duties. The Centres also act as training ground for family carers including maids who accompany our clients coming for day care.

Over the years, many family members/carers of our Daycare Clients have voiced the need for longer term caring of their loved ones as they sometimes need to travel/cannot provide care due to work commitments, etc. ADFM now has an opportunity to operate a Dementia Homecare Centre at Telok Panglima Garang in Kuala Langat District, Selangor, to provide long term care on the clear understanding that our Nurse Managers will first conduct assessment to decide if we can care for a particular client.

OUR DEMENTIA HOMECARE CENTRE PROVIDES:

1. Peaceful, serene surroundings for your loved ones in the midst of greenery and fresh air. We are near Carey Island and not far from the sea, hence the breezy atmosphere.

2. Live in uncrowded space as we intend to keep our numbers low and manageable despite the large and spacious premise and compound.

3. Daily mind and body stimulating exercises, games and activities will be our motto.

4. Care initially provided by a team of 4-5 live-in qualified and trained staff nurses led by an experienced Senior Staff Nurse. The nursing and carer staff will grow with increasing clients.

5. We require that family members keep in close touch with their loved ones and visit them regularly.

6. Regular visits by Consultant Psychiatrist Dr John Tan Jin Teong, ex UMMC, now in private practice.
