PEOPLE can live well with dementia but support from family, friends and the wider community is important.

Life changes when someone develops the condition but it doesn’t end. By understand­ing the illness together, we can help people live well with dementia.

Although there is no cure, help is available and includes: ■ Medication and other treatments ■ Range of community supports, and ■ Practical adjustment­s and adaptation­s to the person’s life and home.
