22.01.2022 An Acquired Brain Injury is any damage to the brain that occurs after birth. That damage can result from numerous causes - accident or trauma, stroke, brain infection, alcohol or other drug abuse and diseases of the brain like Parkinson’s. According to the Australian Bureau of Statistics, over 700,000 Australians have an acquired brain injury, with as many as two out of every three injuries acquired before the age of 25. #assistivetechnology #InnovativeSolutions #acquiredbraininjury

21.01.2022 I am currently at my daughter’s cattle station an hour north of Julia Creek in north Queensland roughly a 20-hour drive from Brisbane where we live. Thanks to Membo Noticeboard, I am completely connected with what’s going on with my 93 year old mum’s care. For those who don’t know, mum lives with Alzheimer’s dementia and has spent the last 2 years in independent living as a direct result of us creating Membo, our online noticeboard system. What I’m finding is worth its weig...ht in absolute gold has been the ability for mum’s cleaners, nurse and care workers to upload a quick Attendance Note to the online Family Hub BEFORE they leave her place with an all’s well or to let us know about something that needs attention. I have peace of mind knowing I am fully up to date, without my absence adding any additional pressure on the team who are ensuring daily life and the resulting stability, continues for mum. See more

16.01.2022 Just in case you missed it, here is the link to my episode of Millionaire Hot Seat: https://www.9now.com.au/millionaire-hot-seat Darn those Grenouille! Eddie McGuire’s mother who died recently, lived with dementia, so it was a really proud moment for me to be able to tell him about MemBo Noticeboard and how we’re helping people to retain their independence and dignity, and give families peace of mind knowing that loved ones are receiving the care they deserve. He agreed how v...itally important it is to educate people about dementia. What an honour to have this conversation on national television, and to help us to continue the conversation destigmatise dementia, and support Dementia Australia and other organisations that work tirelessly to provide education and support.

01.01.2022 In the Netherlands, the number of older people in residential aged care has been reduced from 7.5 per cent to 3 per cent, bringing it in line with the European average. There are two reasons for this shift, older people prefer to stay in their own homes, and it saves money.

01.01.2022 *Resource of the month* November’s resource of the month is a spreadsheet that I started building when the number of contacts and pieces of information I needed to keep track of my mother’s affairs started to get out of hand - electricity, phone, bank accounts, payments, receipts, My Aged Care - all with a different contact person and login.

01.01.2022 I have almost completed the Uni of Tasmania’s Understanding Dementia MOOC. As a primary carer, I am finding the course to be hugely relevant in terms of what my mother is going through both physically and emotionally and in terms of what I myself am going through.

I will share an overview of each module, but if you can, I highly recommend taking the online course yourself. It’s stimulating, poignant, helpful and informative.
