Gone, are the corner stones of one’s existence - knowing who you are, where you’ve been and whom you love! Alzheimer’s disease takes away one’s past and debilitates one’s future. There can be few mental diseases as hideously cruel, leaving in its wake the heartbreak of loss; total dependency and exposure to abuse and neglect; stigmatization; emotional and financial trauma. We cannot restore people’s memories and repair their damaged minds. We cannot re-unite a husband with the wife he loved; or make a mother remember the son she gave birth to; or help a grandmother recognize the grandchildren she read to. But we can, with your help, provide people with dementia and their families the care and understanding they desperately need. We can, with your help, restore their dignity and provide a better quality of life. Help us catch these ageing souls, who are falling from everything they knew, from everyone they’ve loved. Support Groups By giving them and their families YOUR support through the services that we provide. Support groups which meet monthly for family & care- givers of persons suffering from dementia, and networking support groups for professionals working in the field of memory care and facilities offering dementia care. Family Counselling This service provides personal access to a counsellor (either at home or at the DSA offices) through face- to- face consultation for support, guidance and information. Help Line Service Including telephonic, emailed and written requests for help and advice, is offered on a daily basis. Giving people immediate access to a counsellor to provide support, guidance and information. Adult Education & Training (Formal & Informal) Various lectures, talks, courses, symposiums are offered catering for the general public (families, care-givers, communities) and catering for professionals working in the field of dementia. This education serves to develop skills, awareness and knowledge relating to the disease and helps with early diagnosis of patients and ensures adequate management of the illness. Public Awareness material & information Various public education material is produced and awareness campaigns are organized aimed at increasing the understanding, early detection and intervention of dementia in our community. Advocacy We are the only organization actively advocating the rights and dignity of those affected by dementia. Together with other organizations we have successfully lobbied government on the Older Persons Act, which has ensured the inclusion and recognition of dementia and people with dementia in the Act. Other areas include convincing the Medical Aid industry to recognize Alzheimer’s disease as a chronic illness and to provide financial cover for related costs such as medication. Partnership Development Dementia SA considers all partnerships to be the life-blood for any community organization. Collectively sharing resources to effectively address the needs of those affected by dementia. Some new and exciting partners include: the Provincial Department of Social Development, Medic Alert and ‘For Dementia’ – UK based dementia-training specialists. If you would prefer to make a Donations in the form of goods or services, (which is also tax deductible) please find a list of goods/services we currently require assisting those affected by dementia.
