Help people living with dementia stay connected to the people and things they love

Dementia affects hundreds of thousands of Australians and touches entire families, friends and communities.

A day to remember is BlueCare's annual Giving Day, dedicated to helping people living with dementia access specialist care, meaningful activities and support that helps them continue living life their way.

Thanks to this bloomin' wonderful community, we've exceeded our $250,000 goal! But it's not too late to join. You can still support Queenslanders living with dementia by donating today.

What donations can help fund

Meaningful connection

Memory boxes, life story kits and activities that help people reconnect with cherished memories.

Elderly hands gently pet and brush a small black-and-white therapeutic kitten with a purple collar while it rests on a green cushion.

Comfort and wellbeing

Weighted therapy aids and specialised resources that can reduce distress and provide reassurance.

Specialist training

Training that equips frontline teams with advanced dementia care skills and approaches to support each person to live life their way.

Sensory spaces

Creating calming sensory spaces that reduce anxiety and distress. Because where someone spends their days shapes how those days feel.

Dementia hasn't changed who Lesley is

Lesley is a mother, a wife of 63 years, a family matriarch known for caring for others, and someone who has lived a wonderful life. She organised fundraising events, volunteered in her community and raised a family with her husband, Ian.

As her dementia progressed, everyday life became more difficult. Eventually, her family made the difficult decision to move her into a BlueCare Memory Support Unit.

But dementia hasn't changed what matters to Lesley. She still loves spending time in the garden. She still enjoys helping others. And she still lights up during meaningful moments with her family.

Today, specialist dementia support helps Lesley stay connected to the activities, memories and relationships that remain so important to her.

"The BlueCare team don't just care for her, they truly know her as a person."
— Laurel-Lea, Lesley's daughter

Dementia care is more important than ever

More than 250 people are diagnosed with dementia every day in Australia, and that number is expected to grow significantly in the years ahead.

While there is currently no cure, the right support can make a meaningful difference to daily life for people living with dementia and those around them.

With donations from our generous community, BlueCare can continue going above and beyond the basics with specialist care, programs and resources that help people feel safe, connected and valued.

This wall is filled with messages, memories and incredible acts of generosity.

You're bloomin' wonderful!
