Alzheimer's support — for the person and their family
Alzheimer's is the most common cause of dementia. With the right team, people with Alzheimer's can keep living well at home for longer.
What it is
Alzheimer's support typically includes personal care, memory and cognitive support, predictable routines, safe environments, respite and — when needed — residential care.
Who it's for
People living with Alzheimer's and their families. Most are aged 65+ and access aged-care funding; younger-onset Alzheimer's may qualify for the NDIS.
Home Care Package pathway
Higher-level Home Care Packages (Level 3 or 4) are typically used to fund ongoing in-home support for people with Alzheimer's.
NDIS pathway (under 65)
If Alzheimer's is diagnosed before age 65, NDIS access may be possible. Supports include support workers, behaviour support and OT.

Common questions
How is Alzheimer's diagnosed?
A GP usually starts the conversation and may refer to a geriatrician, neurologist or memory clinic. Diagnosis can take time.
What level of HCP is usual for Alzheimer's?
Many people with Alzheimer's are assessed at Level 3 or 4 as their support needs grow.
