Calmology
The Willows Private Nursing Home have joined forces with Calmology bodycare, a company who began in response to clinical managers and nurses seeking a drug-free way to alleviate agitation in Australians with dementia. This is a much gentler alternative for dementia care. We are excited and looking forward to working together, especially to see the long-term results with some of our residents whom suffer with this crippling disease.
Over the years, their range has been tested, refined and has evolved beyond aged care for the wellness of people in the wider community. Calmology is carefully formulated with plant oils and herbal tinctures used for centuries for their wellbeing and fragrance properties. Their natural Australian creams, body oil, body spritz and balms are crafted to soothe your bodyand mind – and will feel beautiful on your skin.

A gentler alternative for dementia care
Calmology is a gentle, drug-free alternative to help people living with all types of dementia.
Since 2012 they have been providing health professionals and families with a viable intervention for agitation in dementia as recommended by the new standards in aged care introduced in July 2019.
In 2018 UniSA initiated a small study with Calmology to trial their care strategies and plant-based formulas which have been developed after years of work with the various clusters of symptoms of agitation. The study was small however the results in decreasing vocalisation were very encouraging.
They now provide further training to facilities who wish to become Relaxation Innovators by utilising the only demential-specific aromatherapy products in Australia.
Their care strategies and plant-based formulas provide practical tools to help avoid harmful cycles of distress associated with dementia.
Easy to apply, the formulas are absorbed through the skin to help you provide comfort and can be easily woven into a care routine after a shower, shave or before bedtime.
The first dementia-specific bodycare range in Australia, Calmology formulas contain many enriching ingredients such as avocado oil, shea butter and other rich oils and herbal extracts with a range of beneficial properties.
Their extensive work in the healthcare field sets them apart, with unparalleled experience in providing care strategies. For complex or severe behaviour, they can assist with an experienced phone consultation. They provide support all over Australia – and this may be especially helpful for people living in rural or remote locations.
At present, their products are only found through selected pharmacies.
