What is Dementia?
Dementia is an umbrella term describing a collection of symptoms that are caused by disorders of the brain. It’s not one specific disease. There are more than 100 types of dementia. Symptoms lead to a progressive decline in a person’s cognitive functioning and may include loss of memory, intellect, rationality, social skills, physical functioning, changes in personality and sensory challenges. Despite these challenges, people living with dementia are still capable with support, to contribute to all aspects of community living.
Dementia Friendly Community – Double Bay, Woollahra
A dementia-friendly community is one where people with dementia are supported to live a quality life with meaning, purpose and value. Everyone from organisations, businesses and community groups, to individuals can play a role in building a dementia-friendly community by learning more about dementia.
They take a uniquely individual approach to supporting people with memory loss with activities and programs tailored to abilities and interests. They encourage people to continue doing all the things they’ve always enjoyed doing for as long as possible.
