Living Well with Dementia
It is important for your health and well-being to continue familiar routines, relationships and activities you enjoy. As your illness progresses, you may need more support than family and friends alone can provide.
Your options
- Consider using community services to keep you healthy and active and to help you stay in your own home if that is your wish. Click here to find out more about ACH Group's range of services for people with memory loss
- Think about the routines and activities you would like to continue and the help you might need to do this
- You may decide to downsize your home or move to a retirement unit or a residential care facility to simplify maintenance and have regular support and company
- Arrange an assessment through the Aged Care Assessment Team (ACAT) for access to more community support or for residential care services
- Our dementia services are specially designed to support people with dementia and their families to continue living good lives despite the impact of dementia
Keeping active
A diagnosis of dementia does not mean that you have to stop doing the things you love. Keeping active and staying involved in activities that you love are just as important now as they were before your diagnosis.
You might also want to try something new that is adapted to suit your abilities. Our exercise, social activities, men’s sheds, choir and art groups cater for all abilities and interests.
