DBMAS is an Australian program while Alzheimer’s society is a UK based program. Although these two services support older persons with BPSD and dementia, they have different service philosophies, models and practices.DBMASDBMAS has several service philosophies that justify its existence and purpose for older people with BPSD. The elemental philosophy of this program is to improve the quality of life (QOL) for elders with dementia as well as their carers. Another important philosophy is to enhance the skills and support healthcare providers to enhance care for individuals with dementiaand BPSD.

All clients are handled with dignity and respect despite their condition. DBMAS further assumes a person-centred holistic approach to itsclients. The last philosophy is ensuring service equality for culturally and linguistically diverse clients.

According to the society program, clients have a strong connection to what it does. As a result, the Alzheimer society is glued to the community. Nevertheless, these service philosophies tend to change over time based on the changes in the prevalence and severity of dementia. The service philosophies evolve based on the society ambitions (Alzheimer’s Society, 2017). New challenges might also cause the philosophies to evolve. The model of the Alzheimer society program consists of 230 individuals who handle different roles. The team includes health care providers who are employees, volunteers as well as
