Pacific Dementia Māngalo (PDM) is a leading organisation in Auckland that provides comprehensive support and care for Pacific dementia patients and their carers. PDM is a subsidiary of the Aotearoa Tongan Health Workers Association Incorporated. We understand the unique challenges faced by individuals and families dealing with dementia and strive to make a positive impact on their lives.
Our organisation offers a range of services tailored to meet the specific needs of Pacific dementia patients and their carers. One of our key services is Post Diagnostic Support, which aims to provide ongoing assistance and guidance to individuals after they have received a dementia diagnosis. Our team of experienced professionals is available to answer questions, provide emotional support, and offer practical advice to help individuals navigate the complexities of living with dementia.
In addition to Post Diagnostic Support, we also offer a Navigator Service. This service acts as a central point of contact for individuals and their carers, connecting them with the appropriate resources and services available in the community. Our navigators work closely with individuals and their families to understand their unique needs and assist them in accessing the support they require.
Community Awareness Program is another vital aspect of our organisation. We believe that raising awareness about dementia within the Pacific Island community is essential for early detection, understanding, and support. Through our Community Awareness Program, we collaborate with community organisations, churches, and schools to provide education and information about dementia. We aim to reduce the stigma associated with dementia and promote a more inclusive and supportive environment for individuals and their families.
Recognising the crucial role of carers in the lives of dementia patients, we offer Carer Training programs. These programs are designed to equip carers with the necessary knowledge and skills to provide effective care and support to their loved ones with dementia. Our training sessions cover a wide range of topics, including communication strategies, behaviour management techniques, and self-care for carers.
At Pacific Dementia Māngalo, we are committed to making a positive difference in the lives of Pacific dementia patients and their carers in Auckland. Through our comprehensive services, we aim to empower individuals, enhance their quality of life, and create a more supportive and understanding community.
Join us at Pacific Dementia Māngalo as we strive to provide the highest standard of care and support for Pacific dementia patients and their carers in Auckland. Together, we can make a meaningful impact on the lives of those affected by dementia.
