Dementia care
If you need safe and compassionate dementia care
We're here to help
More than 433,000 Australians have dementia, including Alzheimer's, and we support hundreds through our dementia specific aged care services that focus on helping each resident with their memory, mood and behaviour.
We offer both permanent or short stay specialist dementia care programs, all staffed 24/7 by our compassionate and qualified carers and registered nurses. These aged care homes include secure areas where dementia care residents can live safely, without getting lost or scared.
We develop personalised dementia care programs, working closely with a resident's family and healthcare team to understand a person's history, likes, dislikes and communication style. This helps us provide the right kind of comfort, any time they become scared, frustrated or unhappy.
Are you eligible?
The first step to access government-funded aged care services is to check your eligibility for an assessment. You can do this online, or by calling My Aged Care to talk about your needs on 1800 200 422.
If you have previously registered with My Aged Care, you cannot apply for an assessment online and will need to call My Aged Care.
What you can expect during dementia care
Your assessment will state whether you've been approved for care. This will help inform how our team prepares for and cares for you. Many dementia care residents do have high care needs.

Costs of dementia specific aged care
The Australian Government sets the fees for aged care homes, and there are no additional costs for dementia care.
