• 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."
• Therefore, it is important for Sydney to up the
  availability of home care in the region, so that
  more people living with dementia can access the
  care needed. Linda True man lost her parents to
  dementia, and says that she was really impressed
  with the level of care she her mother
  received. Making it ever more evident that we
  need to ensure home care for dementia is readily
  available.

• 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.
