Ask Us Anything: How Do You Find the Right Care for Someone With Dementia?

Moving into residential care is never an easy decision, but it's about finding support, safety and dignity along the way. In our Ask Us Anything episodes, you send us your questions about living with dementia and we’ll answer them as honestly as we can. Nothing is off limits here! We discuss how to navigate daily routines when your loved one stops wanting to shower, and residential care for people with young onset dementia.   +++    ABOUT THIS EPISODE  This ‘Ask Us Anything’ episode was hosted by Jim Rogers with advice from Jane, a Senior Family Engagement Counsellor at Dementia Australia.     NEED SUPPORT?   Contact the National Dementia Helpline: 1800 100 500.
