UNDERSTANDING DEMENTIA
Symptoms of dementia are caused by disorders affecting the brain. There are many forms of dementia and each has its own causes.
CHANGES IN BEHAVIOUR
Early signs of dementia can be very subtle and vague, and may not be immediately obvious. There are some common symptoms you can look for.
USEFUL SERVICES
There are a range of services and organisations which can provide individualised and phone support to carers of people living with dementia.
ABOUT
Carer Support, in collaboration with UnitingCare Wesley Bowden (UCWB), has developed the Facing Dementia Together website to assist people in their journey caring for a person with dementia. Carer Support and UCWB both offer peer support opportunities to carers of people with dementia as well as programs for dementia education.
