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.
— 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.
What donations can help fund
Meaningful connection
Memory boxes, life story kits and activities that help people reconnect with cherished memories.
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.
Innovative technology
Technology such as the Tovertafel, which encourages social connection, movement and engagement through interactive play.
