Helping people living with dementia stay at home longer
Welcome to Treehouse4Two
Treehouse4Two is a free three-day retreat for people diagnosed with dementia and their carers in the Macedon Ranges and Hepburn regions.
This government-funded initiative, modelled on HammondCare’s Staying at Home program, is designed to equip participants with the skills and knowledge to live well at home for longer.
A supportive retreat for
wellbeing and independence
At treehouse4two, we focus on wellbeing and self-care, providing a supportive peer environment. Participants receive tailored support from our specialist staff.
Our goal is to help maintain independence and engage in meaningful activities. Carers also learn how to navigate the challenges of supporting someone living with dementia and access community resources, including respite.
Why attend the program?
By joining our program, you gain access to personalised support, education, and practical suggestions from experienced staff, including nurses, allied health clinicians, and others. All of this is provided within a comfortable retreat-like setting.
Our program aims to empower you to live well at home for a longer duration by teaching essential skills, providing valuable resources, and fostering peer relationships with fellow participants.
