Moving a loved one with dementia into residential aged care can be one of the hardest decisions families face. In this episode of Understanding Dementia, Dr Upasana Barua discusses navigating guilt, maintaining connection and recognising when additional support is needed. Sometimes, the most caring decision is recognising that you cannot do it alone.
If you or someone you love is navigating this diagnosis, remember that you are not walking this path alone. There are resources, support groups, and communities ready to hold your hand. Visit health.gov.au/dementia
