Uni of Canberra  Recruiting Participants: 8‑Session Dementia Rehabilitation Trial

The University of Canberra is inviting people to join their SPICE at Home trial.

 

SPICE at Home is an innovative, co‑designed program providing a free 8‑session dementia rehabilitation intervention designed especially for people living with mild to moderate dementia who may find it difficult—or are not yet ready—to attend community‑based programs.

 

It’s also ideal for individuals who don’t have a care partner available to support attendance outside the home.

 

Each participant receives a personalised rehabilitation plan developed by an occupational therapist, with support from a physiotherapist where mobility or exercise goals are identified. The program is then delivered in the person’s home over 6 or 12 weeks by a trained allied health assistant, focusing on reablement and maintaining wellbeing and independence.

The SPICE at Home trial has been approved by the ACT Health Human Research Ethics Committee (HREC) and will help inform future dementia‑care models across the ACT and beyond.
