What is Dementia?
Dementia is an umbrella term used to describe a group of symptoms affecting memory, thinking, and social abilities, which can interfere with a person’s daily life. It is not a specific disease but a broad category that includes various conditions, with Alzheimer’s disease being the most common form. Dementia can affect a person’s ability to perform everyday activities, including managing personal hygiene, cooking, and even recognizing loved ones.
Dementia is a complex condition that affects a person’s memory, thinking, behaviour, and ability to perform everyday tasks. As the disease progresses, it becomes more difficult for individuals to live independently. This is where the need for professional dementia care becomes essential. Without the right support, individuals with dementia may face safety risks, isolation, and a decline in quality of life.
At Ambition Health Group, we specialize in delivering compassionate and skilled dementia care services across Australia. Whether your loved one needs assistance at home, in a nursing facility, or while transitioning between care settings, our team is here to provide peace of mind and support every step of the way.
