About Royal Perth and Bentley Hospital 'Forget Me Not' Volunteers
The Royal Perth Bentley Group is dedicated to delivering a better way to care for patients living with dementia and / or delirium. The 'Forget Me Not' Volunteers are a dedicated group of trained volunteers, who offer comfort and support to patients with cognitive impairment, specifically dementia and delirium. They are able to provide patients with a friendly face, emotional support and practical assistance at a time when they need it most. This person-centred care approach can reduce patients’ anxiety and distress levels in an unfamiliar environment, which can assist with recovery.
