Future housing and support needs of people with dementia

Author: Michelle Gabriel, Christine Stirling,, Debbie Faulkner and Barbara Lloyd
Year: 2014
Type: Report

Abstract:

Dementia is predicted to become the leading cause of disability in the near future. In an aging society, such as Australia, the importance of planning ahead for care of people with dementia (PwD) is recognised. Whilst there is growing literature around managing dementia, to date, insight into the role of housing in supporting PwD and the planning and coordination of health and housing services has been limited. This project by AHURI on the Future housing and support needs of people with dementia aims to address this gap.
