Alzheimer's & Dementia Care & Support

A dementia diagnosis at age 40? It happens, and even younger than that. When signs of dementia show up in adults age 65 or younger, it’s called early-onset or young-onset dementia. (Not to be confused with the first—or early—stages of dementia at an older age.)

When someone you love is living with dementia, the changes you witness can be overwhelming. But support doesn’t just mean stepping in — it means stepping alongside.

At Right at Home, we believe that every person, regardless of where they are in their dementia journey, can experience joy, connection, and dignity. This guide offers key insights and practical steps for families and carers.

Caring for a loved one diagnosed with dementia or cognitive decline can present unique and overwhelming challenges for not only family and friends, but for caregivers too. 

September is World Alzheimer’s Month. According to Alzheimer’s Research Australia, there are 480,000 Australians living with dementia.

Are you retiring, getting older, or perhaps downsizing? During these times, our habits and routines can undergo big changes, impacting all aspects of our lives. Right at Home, Australia's premier support at home, home care packages provider, shares some insights.

Alzheimer Disease is the most common type of dementia, accounting for about 50% to 75% of dementia cases worldwide. It is characterised by short-term memory loss, apathy, and depression in the early stages. Onset is gradual and decline is progressive.

Dementia Action Week 2023 is here! Join Right at Home from 18 to 24 September as we work towards a dementia-friendly future.  

This week 19 – 25 September 2022 is Dementia Action Week. According to Dementia Australia, Dementia impacts close to half a million Australians and almost 1.6 million Australians are involved in their care. That means that nearly 9.5% of Australia’s population are currently impacted by Dementia in some way.

September is a time to reflect on those suffering from Cognitive Decline. The month of September marks both Dementia Awareness Month and World Alzheimer’s Day on the 21st.

September is globally recognised as Dementia or Alzheimer’s Awareness Month.
