Dementia Australia provides comprehensive resources on their website including recognising the stages, understanding the condition, and how to live well or support a loved one who has dementia.
In addition, you’ll find key advice on future planning to make it easier for families and carers to manage the affairs of a person with dementia. It may also mean that the person with dementia can participate in the planning and make sure that their wishes are carried out in the way that they would like.
Planning ahead can be overwhelming, but Dementia Australia is here to help.
If you need support, or just someone to talk to, the National Dementia Helpline is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week, 365 days a year on 1800 100 500.
Dementia Australia offers counselling, support groups and education to carers and people living with dementia at all stages of the condition. Dementia Australia can help you learn what is happening, provide emotional support, information, education, and counselling. To access these services, please call the National Dementia Helpline on 1800 100 500.
