Like all things relating to your health the earlier you seek help, the better it will be for you, when it comes to hearing loss.
You may be asking, what has hearing aids got to do with dementia, new research in the United Kingdom has found untreated hearing loss, may increase the risk of dementia in middle aged and older adults.
Making a complaint about a service, that you are not happy with, can sometimes be awkward and confronting. It is important that you raise your concerns and openly talk about, them whether it be for yourself, a family member or friend that is receiving support through the Australian Government-funded aged care services.
Finding aged care information to help yourself, a family member or friend can be confusing and daunting, from information on private services to support offered by community organisations and the government – local, state and federal.
There are many solutions when difficulties arise when performing daily tasks.
AgedCare Alternatives Advisers are available to provide specialist and intensive assistance through the care finder program.
In part 2 we will discuss the external factors that can contribute to falling.
Some older people need extra, intensive support to access aged care services and other supports in the community.
As we age falling becomes more of a concern. Falls can result in serious injuries and impact our self-confidence. In parts 1, 2 and 3 we will be talking about how we can limit our risk of falling.
AgedCare Alternatives is a free information service that helps older people, their carers and families, to find and understand information about aged care services.
