Is home care better than aged-care? This Indian migrant family shares their cultural approach to dementia

from SBS Hindi

In this SBS Hindi podcast, we share the story of an Indian-origin family in Melbourne caring for a loved one with dementia at home. Guduru Rao lives with dementia, and with the support of Australia’s home-based aged-care services, his wife Uma Rao and their family have chosen to care for him at home. Their experience reflects a cultural approach common in India, where elderly parents are typically cared for within the family, and explores the challenges, changes and personal experiences of managing dementia in a migrant household.
