Butterfly Household Model of Care
Barunga Village is an accredited provider of the international ground-breaking model of dementia care – the Butterfly Household Model of Care.
In July 2017, Barunga Village underwent a rigorous grading process and received the highest rating possible to become Australia’s first ‘Butterfly Home’. The grading process was conducted at the completion of a 12-month pilot of the program.
The Butterfly Household Model of Care was founded in the UK in 1995 and has since expanded to become a global dementia care culture change organisation.
While dementia care has a history of being task orientated and institutionalised, the model sees a total transformation in the way people with dementia are cared for, with a focus on their emotions, and replicating home-like environments and everyday activities they enjoyed earlier in life.
