The Limani Social Support Group is a stimulating, culturally and linguistically appropriate centre-based day program. It is for people from a Greek-speaking background, with memory loss and/or confusion, depression and social isolation and their carers.
The Limani Program aims to:
• provide a holistic, person-centered approach with a Montessori model
• assist families and carers to better manage caring for someone with memory loss and/or confusion
• offer carers an opportunity to take a break from their caring role by providing them with respite
• maintain and promote activities of daily living as well as a sense of security and self-worth in a safe and caring environment that is culturally appropriate
• enhance the quality of life, self-esteem, dignity and respect while preserving privacy and confidentiality of families.
• raise awareness within the Greek Community of the impact of dementia, and issues associated with memory loss and confusion.
