- Are you or your family wanting more support at home but not sure how to get the help?
- Do you want to understand more about how you might be able to get publicly funded help?
- Would you like to evaluate what is required to maximise living independently at home?
Dementia New Zealand is excited to bring you Part Two of the Needs Assessment webinar we held back in February 2025. Based on the questions asked from the wider community, we will delve deeper into understanding the different types of publicly funded help that can be provided, such as carer support subsidy, respite and home help.
Hosted by Winifred Henderson (Senior Educator, Dementia New Zealand), who will be joined once again by health experts Dr Daniel Asquith (General Practitioner), Amy Harrison (Registered Social Worker and Needs Assessor), and Robyn Harper (MSc Applied Social Work and Needs Assessor).
The panel discussion will hopefully provide greater insight into what supports might be available and share examples of how carer support subsidy, respite and residential care subsidy might work and who it might help. The health experts may also share general tips and recommendations for people with dementia and their families living in the community.
