New Look, Same Heart: Why We’re Changing Our Logo

At Home4All, we believe that growth is a journey. With the stepping down of our founders and the appointment of our new General Manager, we are entering a new and exciting phase. This is why we realised it was also time for our visual identity to catch up with who we've grown into. Here is the story behind our new look.

Gives respite to partners and carers

The earlier visitors join us, the more that we are able to help them and the greater impact we can have.

How do we work?

Home4All follows the Dutch “green care farm” model, which is small scale intervention in an actual home setting. The normal household activities provide cognitive stimulation and physical exercise in a very natural way and the coffee and meal times provide important social interactions.

We use errorless learning to enable people to regain their autonomy.

Home4All has welcomed both my sister and her family with open arms. The love and compassion that they show has been truly inspiring
and their knowledge has helped us navigate what can be an exhausting and challenging time. All of us have learnt so much and to see
our loved one, who inherited Alzheimer's disease (eFAD) in her 40's, go from timid and unsure of herself to cheeky, happy and accepting
of her situation has been a beautiful thing to see

Our visitors love giving Bella attention and cuddles. She’s always there to greet you on arrival but be warned, when you start throwing the ball you won’t be allowed to stop.

Keith

Visitor

Keith may be in his 80's, but he'll never let that stop him! He loves working with others in the garden or workshop. He even helped to build our awesome new chicken coop out of old trampoline bases!

Gael is one of our incredible volunteers! She's got a mean creative streak and doesn't mind getting a bit muddy to get some work done.

Nigerian Dwarf Goats

These three bundles of joy are all boys from the same litter. They absolutely love attention and are more like puppies than anything! If you're lucky, one of them may even jump into your lap!

How can I find out more?

You can register directly with us if you have a diagnosis and have a valid indication from the Care Coordination Centre. As soon as we receive your registration form, we will make an appointment for an intake interview.

During the intake interview, we will make a joint decision about the suitability of the Home4All homestead activity programme for you and your family.
