In response to the coronavirus COVID-19 outbreak, Dementia Australia has released four Help Sheets outlining tips for people living with dementia, carers, families and friends of people living with dementia, residential care providers and home care providers.
Dementia Australia CEO Maree McCabe said people living with dementia are one of the most vulnerable groups in society at this time.
“There is confusion in the community and new rules announced daily to keep pace with this rapidly evolving situation,” Ms McCabe said.
“For people living dementia this can create even more uncertainty.
“We have developed these Help Sheets to provide clarity on what people can do to achieve the best possible outcomes for people living with dementia.
“The needs and capacity of people living with dementia must be a priority in response to the coronavirus COVID-19 outbreak.”
The Help Sheets are available now and include:
“We are here to support people living with dementia, their family, carers and friends, and anyone in the health and aged care industries,” Ms McCabe said.
“It is important for them to know they are not alone, especially during this unprecedented time. If you have any further questions, please call the National Dementia Helpline 1800 100 500 for information and support.”
