Aged Care Speech Pathology Services
Client Testimonials
Our company have been working closely with AHP for PT and OT services for a number of years now in an RACF capacity and had an extremely proactive relationship. They were super adaptive with the changes between ACFI and AN-ACC between to old PMP model 4b model of service to the new ‘Wellness and Rehabilitation’ requirements with new Aged Care Reforms. With that, new guidelines and processes were promptly developed to specify Industry Standards, Governments Requirements and Ozcare requests, in which have all run extremely smoothly.
Working with the AHP aged care physiotherapy team has transformed my mother's mobility and overall well-being. The personalised approach and compassionate care she received not only improved her physical strength but also boosted her confidence and happiness.
The speech pathology services in the residential aged care facility have made a remarkable difference for my grandmother. The therapist's personalised approach not only improved her communication skills but also enhanced her overall social interaction and confidence. We are so thankful for their dedication and expertise, which have brought joy and connection back into her life.
Thanks for your help thus far. You guys are easy to deal with, and our client was very happy with the team.
We have just had AHP team here, they were fantastic with mum and has her booked in to visit the equipment supplier showroom on July 26th. Mum felt comfortable with the AHP team and listened to their advice and recommendations. To have mum considering a dining chair, recliner and bed is a huge step for her.
Our experience with the AHP occupational therapy has been invaluable. Not only did they visit my father in the home, but The therapist also provided tailored support that helped my father regain his independence and adapt his living space for safety and comfort.

Language Skills
As people age, they may experience difficulties in understanding and expressing language, making everyday conversations challenging. Our specialised speech pathology Australia services focus on enhancing language comprehension and verbal expression, helping older adults communicate more effectively with loved ones and caregivers. At AHP Aged Care, we provide personalised speech therapy strategies that empower individuals to regain confidence in their communication, fostering meaningful social interactions and reducing feelings of isolation.
Cognitive Communication
Cognitive changes, such as memory loss and reduced attention span, can significantly impact an older adult’s ability to communicate. Our aged care speech pathology team offers tailored support to strengthen cognitive-communication skills, including memory recall, problem-solving, and attention. These services help seniors maintain independence, stay engaged in conversations, and participate actively in daily life, ensuring they feel heard and understood.
Swallowing Safety
Swallowing difficulties, or dysphagia, are common among older adults and can lead to serious health risks, including choking and malnutrition. Our speech pathology professionals work closely with seniors to assess and manage swallowing disorders, ensuring meals are safe and comfortable. Through customised therapy, diet modifications, and swallowing techniques, we help individuals enjoy mealtimes with greater ease and confidence, promoting overall well-being and reducing health complications.
Voice Therapy
Aging can lead to vocal changes such as reduced volume, hoarseness, or vocal fatigue, making it difficult for seniors to communicate effectively. Our aged care speech pathology specialists provide targeted voice therapy to strengthen vocal endurance, improve clarity, and restore confidence in speaking. By focusing on breath support, vocal exercises, and personalised coaching, we help older adults maintain a strong and clear voice, enhancing their ability to engage in conversations and express their needs.
Non-Verbal Communication
For seniors experiencing speech loss due to conditions like stroke, Parkinson’s disease, or dementia, non-verbal communication becomes essential. Our speech pathology Australia services support older adults in developing effective non-verbal communication strategies, such as using gestures, facial expressions, and assistive communication tools. We ensure each individual has the skills and resources needed to express their thoughts and emotions, fostering deeper connections with caregivers, family, and friends.
Parkinson’s Speech Therapy
Our dedicated Parkinson’s speech pathology program is designed to enhance vocal strength, clarity, and confidence. We help older Australians regain their ability to speak clearly and connect with others through targeted exercises, breath control techniques, and personalised strategies.
