  • Dementia is the term used to describe a
    group of conditions which cause a gradual
    progressive decline in the day-to-day functioning
    of an individual. The condition attacks the
    central nervous system i.e. the brain. Symptoms
    include but are not limited to loss of memory,
    intellect, rational though, social skills and
    physical ability. When it comes to Australian
    homecare, Sydney is struggling to keep up with
    current demand.

  • On the hole, Australia has a great network
    for providing care to those individuals living
    with dementia. The condition affects around
    350,000 Australians, with around 1.2 million
    people involved in the care of people living with
    dementia. This system of care costs around 4.9
    billion to maintain year on year, with an
    estimated 175,000 people receiving aged or home
    care.

  • Professor Yun-Hee Jeon from Sydney Nursing School
    says that the needs of people in home care
    situations are often highly complex. She says
    that most of them have a number of medical
    health conditions, as well as physical and
    functional declines to be addressed. This pushes
    the cost of care for those living with dementia,
    as an interdisciplinary approach is required to
    keep them healthy.

  • According to Access Economics Alzheimers
    Australia report, around 65 of people living
    with dementia in NSW reside in the metropolitan
    area of Sydney. This is a huge proportion of
    people, so understandably we might expect the
    Sydney area to cater for the needs of such
    individuals.

  • Martina Kane of the Alzheimers Society (UK)
    says that "It is essential that people have
    access to the right support and services to help
    them live well with dementia and that research
    into better care, treatments and eventually a
    cure remain high on the agenda."

  • A lack of supply of home care in Sydney has
    led to concerns that people will not receive
    adequate care for their dementia. With doctors
    becoming more competent at diagnosing dementia
    earlier, and rising case numbers across
    Australia it is the right time for cities like
    Sydney to focus funding into providing more home
    care facilities for individuals living with the
    dementia.
