    Why Families Need to Fight for Good Dementia Care.

    In a previous episode in this series, it has been discussed that dementia is recognised by the Australian government as a disability, thereby those with dementia have access to the support, legal protections, and the same human rights as everyone else. This is similar in other countries. However, many families find themselves in the position of having to actively fight for good dementia care for their loved ones. This is also similar in other countries. But why is this the case?  Well today you and I will review why sometimes families need to fight for good dementia care.

    The link between Down Syndrome and Dementia.

    50 years ago, if you had a loved one with Down Syndrome, they life expectancy was short. However, today it is very possible that a loved one with Down syndrome can expect to live into their 60s and 70s due to improvements in healthcare, early intervention, and community support. This is great news, however there is a caveat.  This increase in life expectancy comes with a significant risk of developing dementia, and this is the topic of this episode. Research estimates that 50% or more of adults with Down syndrome will develop dementia as they age, but early signs are very subtle and are often mistaken for normal ageing or simply  dismissed. You and I will discuss the link between Down Syndrome and Dementia  About me My name is Tim England and I’m the host and creator of the podcasts Dementia Demystified.

    Community Fear of Dementia and how to fix it.

    Here are two questions for you. “Is Dementia a recognised disability?” and “Why do people still fear and openly avoid other people who have dementia”? Well, the first answer is easy… Yes, dementia is classified as a disability in Australia and it’s the same in most other countries. Just like other disabilities, such as, hearing, vision, physical impairments, respiratory disorders, being bipolar and/or living with PTSD, etc,,,, dementia is recognised by the Australian government as a disability, thereby those with dementia have access to the support, legal protections, and the same human rights as you and I.  The second question is a little more difficult to answer, and it’s this question that we will discuss in this podcast… Why do people still fear and openly avoid other people who have dementia”?
