🧠💙 Dementia Action Week 2026 May 18th - 24th 💙🧠

This week is an important reminder that dementia affects not only the individual living with the condition, but also their families, carers, friends, and the wider community. Dementia is more than memory loss — it can impact thinking, communication, behaviour, emotions, and everyday activities.

In Australia, hundreds of thousands of people are living with dementia, and the number continues to grow. Raising awareness helps reduce stigma, encourages early support, and creates more dementia-friendly communities where people feel safe, respected, and included.

At Home Caring South Perth, we are passionate about providing compassionate, person-centred care that supports independence, dignity, and quality of life. We understand that every person’s journey with dementia is unique, which is why patience, understanding, and meaningful connection are at the heart of the care we provide every day.

This Dementia Action Week, we encourage everyone to:
💙 Learn more about dementia
💙 Show patience and kindness
💙 Support carers and families
💙 Help create inclusive communities
💙 Start conversations and raise awareness

Sometimes the smallest gestures — a smile, a calm conversation, or simply taking the time to listen — can make the biggest difference.

Together, we can build a more understanding and supportive community for people living with dementia. 💙

✨ Meet the Team – Sherry ✨

We’re excited to introduce Sherry, our dedicated Case Manager & Registered Nurse at Home Caring South Perth.

Sherry brings valuable experience from her nursing background working in the hospital setting, where she developed strong clinical skills and a passion for providing compassionate, person-centred care.

Now as part of our community care team, Sherry is committed to supporting clients to live safely, independently, and comfortably in their own homes. Her caring nature, professionalism, and warm approach make a meaningful difference in the lives of the clients and families she supports every day.

We’re so grateful to have Sherry as part of the Home Caring South Perth team 👏

Had a very productive and meaningful Rotary Club meeting with the Morley Rotary Club members.

It’s always a privilege to connect with a group of people who are genuinely committed to service and strengthening our local community.

Today’s discussion included a really valuable Q&A around the Support at Home (SAH) program—particularly some of the common areas of confusion people are experiencing around how to access SAH, what the process looks like, and how switching providers works in practice. It was a great opportunity to share insights, clarify misconceptions, and talk through real-world challenges that clients and families are currently facing.

What stood out was the openness in the room and the willingness to better understand how we can work together across services to make the system more accessible and less overwhelming for the community. There was strong agreement that collaboration between providers, case managers, and community organisations is key to ensuring people get the right support at the right time.

Grateful for the thoughtful questions, shared experiences, and the collective focus on improving outcomes for the people we serve. Looking forward to continuing these conversations and turning ideas into practical support for the community through Morley Rotary Club.
