Alzheimer's & Dementia Care & Support

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. 

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.

April is Parkinson’s Awareness Month. Suitably, last week we published an article on home safety for seniors with Parkinson’s Disease and related conditions. But what is Parkinson’s and how do we identify and treat it.  

Home should always be a place where we feel safe and comfortable. However, a diagnosis of Parkinson’s Disease or related condition can change what was once a sanctuary into something challenging and even risky.

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.  

We all know the joys of being out in nature. The sights, sounds, smells, and fresh air are great for our state of mind. Research has even shown that simply being able to see nature from inside has a positive impact on our well-being.

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.
