Telehealth Services
At Memory Nurture we provide services in several different ways.
At Memory Nurture we are committed to delivering our services in diverse and adaptable ways, ensuring accessibility to everyone who needs them. Our Telehealth offerings, including Occupational Therapy and Music Therapy, provide a seamless solution to bridge the geographical gaps, making our support accessible to individuals and care partners in need, regardless of location.
About Telehealth
Telehealth is the use of telecommunications to deliver health care over distance by linking the health professional, client, carer and/or family, for the purpose of assessment, intervention, and consultation. It may involve a variety of methods including telephone, email, and videoconferencing. Telehealth or videoconferencing enables Memory Nurture to provide services to you whether you live in Perth or regional and remote areas of Australia. It also allows us to continue services during pandemic lockdowns. Assessment, support, and interventions are delivered via telephone, videoconferencing, and email, all from the comfort and safety of your home.

Engage in self-reflection and self-esteem work to cultivate emotional well-being. We can assess and make recommendations for sensory modulation interventions and behaviour activation activities. Through motivational interviewing and coaching we help to re-motivate your engagement in meaningful and strength-based activities and occupations. We work together to examine your time use and establish a balanced routine that supports your overall health and satisfaction through suggested activity scheduling. We assist to grade and adapt activities to enrich your participation in what you want and need to do. Furthermore, we provide environment-related recommendations to help support your re-engagement in activities of daily living. Through our guidance, we can explore opportunities for community activities including possible volunteer work. By strengthening social ties, we nurture a feeling of inclusion and satisfaction.
- Music Therapy Life Story Program: These sessions encompass personalised music experiences, reminiscence activities, and creative expression, all carefully designed to enhance cognitive stimulation and emotional well-being. The therapy will commence with an exploration of your personal experiences to understand your relationship with music.

A playlist representing your life’s chapters will be curated. Through Telehealth, the power of music becomes a bridge to improve your quality of life, enabling you to connect, express, and find more enjoyment in everyday life.
