Dementia Care
Do you care for someone living with Dementia?

Armidale Dementia Carer Support Group
As part of Sally’s role, she coordinates the Dementia Carer Support Group, which meets on the third Friday of the month in Armidale.
At these meetings, we often have guest speakers to provide education on relevant topics, in consultation with the carers, to ensure current needs are met.
The group provides a safe place for carers to talk about their concerns when looking after a family member living with dementia and to learn from other carer experiences.
If you would like to join this group please phone the Armidale HealthWISE office on 02 6771 1146.
