Type: report

Abstract: In an ageing society such as Australia, there is growing recognition of the importanceof planning for the future care of older people with dementia (PwD). Dementia ispredicted to become the leading cause of disability by 2016, with the number of casesin Australia expected to increase to close to 1 million by 2050 (AIHW 2007, p.52).While there is a growing literature around managing dementia, to date, insight into therole of housing in supporting PwD and the planning and coordination of health andhousing services has been limited. This project on the Future housing and supportneeds of people with dementia aims to address this gap.
