22.01.2022 #repost Dementia Australia - today marks the start of Dementia Action Week in Australia. Dementia affects close to half a million Australians. That number is set to double in the next 25 years. If we are to prepare for this increase, it is vital we clear up some of the prevailing misconceptions about dementia.... The concept for Dementia Action Week 2020, 'A little support makes a lot of difference', has been developed in consultation with Dementia Advocates, who have a lived experience of dementia. The stories and voices that will feature across Dementia Action Week are real. #melvillecares #theheartofcommunitycare #dementiaawareness #dementiaactionweek
