Dementia support in Geelong

What is Dementia?

Dementia describes a group of conditions that affect memory, thinking and daily function. Most people with dementia are over 65 and access support through My Aged Care. People diagnosed under 65 (younger onset dementia) may be eligible for the NDIS.

Common challenges people may experience

• Memory, orientation and decision-making
• Communication and language
• Daily living and personal care
• Behaviour changes and distress
• Safety at home and falls
• Carer support and burnout

How the NDIS may support people with Dementia

Where dementia causes significant, ongoing impact, the NDIS may fund a tailored mix of supports — including allied health therapies, support workers, support coordination, assistive technology and community participation. Every plan is different and built around the participant's goals. We can help you find providers once your plan is in place.

How aged care services may help

For people over 65, dementia support is typically funded through Home Care Packages (HCP), the Commonwealth Home Support Programme (CHSP) or residential aged care. We can help match you with providers experienced in dementia care.
