Are you unsure how aged care support works for people living with dementia? You’re not alone. Many families begin this journey with more questions than answers—especially when a loved one starts showing signs of early-onset dementia.
While there are definitely services available to support people with dementia, there are some very important steps to take before you apply for an aged care assessment.
Admitting that a loved one may be experiencing early signs of dementia is never easy. For families, this can be an emotional and heartbreaking time. But being prepared will help ensure your loved one receives the right support without unnecessary delays or complications.
Having a Power of Attorney alone is not enough in the aged care system. You will also need:
Without these documents, there is a risk that your loved one may be placed under the care of the Public Guardian—something that can be avoided with the right preparation.
Starting the process early, with the right information and documents in place, makes a world of difference. If your loved one is showing signs of dementia and you’re not sure where to start, reach out for guidance. The right support can help your family navigate the aged care system smoothly, while ensuring your loved one’s dignity and wellbeing remain the top priority.
At Kate’s Connections, we believe everyone deserves to live with dignity, safety, and a sense of belonging.
