Dementia care
If you or a loved one has had a dementia diagnosis, it can be helpful to understand the support that’s available to you as well as the general symptoms and stages.
For some people, living at home isn’t practical, and they need the permanent support of dementia care in residential aged care. But for many people, remaining at home is not only possible, but actively supported through a home care package and respite care.
News on the grapevine
New Aged Care Act to start from 1 November
The new Aged Care Act and Support at Home Program will now be delayed until November 2025.
Feedback from the sector has pushed for a deferral of the start date. It will mean providers and advocates have more time to talk to older people to help them understand how aged care is changing, including the new Support at Home program.
