Dementia shouldn’t mean discrimination

IN the electorate of Nicholls there are an estimated 3,735 people living with dementia, which is expected to increase to 5,650 by 2058. Findings from a survey conducted by Dementia Australia reveal just how big an issue discrimination is for people living with dementia, and is calling on our communities to make change.

During the recent Dementia Action Week, Dementia Australia shared one tip a day showing simple ways to support people living with dementia. These included tips such as:

• Encouraging sufferers to stay active and healthy

• Creating a dementia-friendly home environment

• How to give people with dementia their space

Living with dementia changes how people experience the world. People can experience changes to their memory, intellect, rationality, social skills and physical functioning.

Many people experience other changes too. Changes in how people relate to them. People might stop talking to them, staying in touch and inviting them to things. That’s not dementia, it’s discrimination.
