Your donation can make a big impact
No one should face dementia alone
Right now, more than 421,000 Australians are living with dementia, and behind every diagnosis is a family doing their best to cope.
Once mum started coming here, it changed everything. I honestly don’t know what we would have done without this place.

Help people living with dementia
When everything begins to change…
If someone you love has dementia, you know how quietly it begins.
A forgotten name. A repeated question. A moment of confusion.
And slowly, life begins to change.
For most of her life, Betty was the person everyone relied on — a devoted mother, a loving grandmother, the heart of her family.
But over time, things became harder.
Names slipped away. Everyday tasks became confusing. And the roles in her family began to shift.
For Betty’s daughter Jane, watching this unfold was heartbreaking.

Too many families are facing dementia alone
Many families walk this road quietly.
They do their best.
They love deeply.
But the weight of caring can be overwhelming.
Without the right support, dementia can become incredibly isolating — for both the person living with it and the people who love them.

But with the right support, everything can change
When Betty began attending Anglicare’s day respite centre, something beautiful happened.
Instead of long days at home, she found a place where she could laugh again. Where she could enjoy activities, connect with others and feel like herself.
Before Anglicare, it was just us. But when Mum started attending their day respite centre, everything changed. She had somewhere to go. People to talk to. A reason to get up and get ready. And for me… it meant I could breathe. It meant I wasn’t doing this alone anymore.
— Jane, daughter of an Anglicare client
Since coming to the centre, Betty has formed friendships and rediscovered joy.
Instead of feeling alone, Betty now has something to look forward to.
