BlueCare is a not-for-profit organisation that has always relied on community generosity to expand services and train exceptional carers. With the number of people living at home with dementia growing rapidly, the need for specialist dementia care is more urgent than ever.
“They call this the long goodbye, and that’s exactly what it is. I miss him,” Jane says quietly.
Since her husband Errol was diagnosed with dementia, Jane has done everything she can to keep them together at home—the place they both feel safest. But caring for someone you love who is living with dementia is exhausting.
“He’s always been my rock, now I'm his rock” Jane says. “He's still the man I love.”
BlueCare’s dementia care team has given Jane the support she needs to keep Errol at home for as long as possible. From advice and respite, to twice-weekly outings with his specially trained carers, their help has made a world of difference.
“Thanks to BlueCare, we’ve had more time together. Their help has meant the world.”
Here's how your donation can help
Support people living with dementia to stay in their homes longer.
It's estiamted that more than 300 Australians are diagnosed with dementia every day1. Living well with dementia is possible, but only with the right support.
With your help we can recruit and train an additional 200 dementia care specialists to support people to stay living together in their own homes for longer.
Give exhausted carers the break they desperately need.
Caring for a loved one with dementia is a 24/7 job. Many carers like Jane go months—sometimes years—without proper rest or a chance to recharge.
Your gift can help fund day or overnight respite care delivered by trained dementia specialists. That means carers can step away, knowing their loved one is safe, stimulated, and well cared for.
Improve quality of life for someone living with dementia.
As dementia progresses, daily activities can become difficult, confusing, or distressing. But with the right tools and support, people can continue doing the things they love.
Your donation can provide the latest tools and technology proven to help those living with dementia—from memory books to virtual reality and portable braintrainers.
