While many people living with dementia are able to live independently and rely on carers, family and friends for assistance, there are a range of aged care services, as well as dementia-specific services available for those in need of support, as well as for their carers, friends and family.
For the underlying data presented in these pages, refer to the Aged care data tables and the Dementia support services data tables.
See Dementia in priority groups for more information on aged care and support services used by people with dementia among different population groups, such as people from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds. See Aged care service use by First Nations people with dementia for more information.
It is important to bear in mind that dementia is not able to be identified in all community-based aged care service data, which limits our ability to understand the use and need for these services by people living with dementia.
