Frequently Asked Questions

What is dementia care?

Dementia care refers to the specialised support provided to individuals living with dementia, a condition that progressively affects memory, thinking, behaviour, and the ability to perform everyday tasks. Good dementia care addresses both the physical and emotional needs of the individual, as well as the well-being of their family and carers.

As an aged care consultancy, Relacs helps families understand the care options available at each stage of dementia, navigate government funding, and plan financially for what can be a lengthy and complex care journey.

What are the different stages of dementia, and how does care change over time?

Dementia typically progresses through three broad stages: early, middle, and late. In the early stage, a person may still live independently with some in-home support. In the middle stage, more intensive care is often required, and families may begin exploring residential aged care options. In the late stage, full-time specialist care focused on comfort and dignity becomes the priority.

Relacs works with families to plan ahead for each stage, ensuring the right care, funding, and legal arrangements are in place before they are urgently needed. Contact or call (08) 6109 8006 and a RELACS advisor will help you find the best path forward.

What dementia care options are available in Australia?

SDementia care in Australia can be delivered across a range of settings depending on the stage of the condition and the individual’s needs. Options include in-home support through the Commonwealth Home Support Programme (CHSP) or a Home Care Package, day respite programs that provide social engagement and structured activities, and residential aged care facilities with dedicated memory care or Special Care Units (SCUs) for more advanced dementia.

Relacs helps families identify the most suitable care pathway and connects them with the right providers. Contact or call (08) 6109 8006 and a RELACS advisor will help you find the best path forward.

How much does dementia care cost in Australia?

The cost of dementia care in Australia depends on the type and level of care required. In-home support through a Home Care Package involves a basic daily fee and potentially a means-tested income-tested fee. Residential aged care for dementia involves the same fee structure as standard residential care, including a basic daily fee, means-tested care fee, and an accommodation payment (RAD or DAP), but costs can escalate as care needs increase over time.

Relacs specialises in helping families plan for the long-term financial demands of dementia care. Contact or call (08) 6109 8006 and a RELACS advisor will help you find the best path forward.

Can someone with dementia stay at home, or do they need to move into residential care?

Many people with dementia are able to remain at home in the earlier stages of the condition with the right support in place, including in-home care, assistive technology, and regular respite care for carers. However, as dementia progresses, residential aged care in a facility with a dedicated memory care unit is often the safest and most appropriate option.

Relacs helps families assess when the time is right to transition and guides them through the process of finding and funding the right residential placement. Contact or call (08) 6109 8006 and a RELACS advisor will help you find the best path forward.

What support is available for family members caring for someone with dementia?

Caring for a loved one with dementia can be physically and emotionally exhausting. Support available to family carers in Australia includes respite care (short-term relief for carers), the Carer Gateway program, counselling and peer support through Dementia Australia, and palliative care planning as the condition advances. Our team helps families access these supports and manage the broader financial and logistical challenges of long-term dementia care.
