WellKind
Dementia Wellbeing & Family Support · Perth
Specialist support for people living with dementia, with practical guidance, meaningful engagement and genuine support for the people who care for them.
Specialist dementia support
WellKind helps people living with dementia continue living meaningful, independent lives at home while giving their families the knowledge, confidence and support to navigate dementia alongside them.
WellKind is a specialist dementia wellbeing and family-support service based in Perth, Western Australia. We sit between traditional therapy and generic support work.
We combine clinical expertise, personalised planning, trained dementia engagement, family coaching and ongoing review.
We’re not just providing support hours. We’re building a better way for someone to continue living with dementia.
Who we support
WellKind supports both people living with dementia and the family members caring for them.

You don’t have to earn a break. You deserve one.
For Families & CarersThe WellKind Approach
WellKind brings together clinical dementia expertise and meaningful day-to-day support.
1
We start by understanding the person — not just their diagnosis. We look at abilities, interests, personality, life history, routines, strengths, cognitive and functional needs, family circumstances, goals and what gives the person purpose.
2
A personalised plan is developed around the person’s abilities, interests, goals and family needs.
3
A trained WellKind Dementia Engagement Worker provides consistent one-to-one support — at home or in the community.
4
Family members receive practical coaching and education to help them communicate, respond to changes and support independence.
5
Clinical review ensures the person’s support continues to evolve as their needs change.
The WellKind journey

Our Specialisation
Specialist support designed for younger lives — when dementia arrives while someone is still working, parenting, and planning for the future.
Explore Young Onset Dementia support →Understand the person behind the diagnosis.
Where clinically appropriate, a clinician-led assessment considers abilities, interests, cognitive and functional needs, routines, strengths, goals and family circumstances. The outcome is a personalised Living Well Plan — about how someone can continue to live well, not simply what they can no longer do.
Learn About Living Well Plans →Keep the mind engaged.
Evidence-informed cognitive engagement woven into everyday support — conversation, reminiscence, music, familiar activities and creative challenges. Where appropriately trained practitioners are involved, structured Cognitive Stimulation Therapy (CST) may also be offered or supported.
Learn About Cognitive Stimulation →Consistent support. Meaningful time.
Trained Dementia Engagement Workers provide consistent one-to-one support based on each person’s abilities, interests and goals — at home or in the community — helping them continue doing things that matter.
Learn About Dementia Engagement →Keep doing the things that matter.
Dementia does not mean someone has to immediately stop everyday life. WellKind supports people to maintain independence and participation where appropriate — support where needed, independence where possible.
Explore Independence Support →Stay connected to life outside the home.
Age-appropriate, person-centred support to continue participating in cafés, parks, libraries, volunteering, hobbies and local life — especially important for younger people with dementia.
Explore Community Participation →Because dementia affects the whole family.
Practical coaching and education so family members can communicate, respond to changes, support independence and navigate everyday life with more confidence. We don’t just support the person with dementia — we teach the people around them how to support them too.
Explore Family Coaching →A meaningful few hours for them. A genuine break for you.
Meaningful engagement for the person living with dementia while their family carer gets predictable time away from the caring role. We don’t just provide respite. We make respite meaningful.
Explore Carer Breaks →Support that changes as the person changes.
Where clinically appropriate, regular clinical review adjusts the Living Well Plan as needs, abilities and circumstances change. Clinical services are provided by appropriately qualified professionals — not every WellKind team member is a clinician.
Learn About Clinical Review →Our specialisation
When dementia happens earlier in life, everything can feel different.
Someone diagnosed at 50 or 55 may not see themselves as an “aged care” client. Our support is designed around the person they are and the life they are still living.
Don’t put someone’s life on hold because dementia has entered it.
