Healthy Ageing and Memory Support
Changes in memory, thinking, mood or daily functioning can happen for many reasons. Finding support early can help people access information, services and care that may improve their quality of life and independence.
If you, a family member, friend or carer have noticed changes in memory, communication, thinking, or managing everyday tasks, please contact our team. We can talk through your concerns, arrange an initial assessment, and help connect you with the right support and services.
Many people find it helpful to talk about these changes early, even if they are unsure whether they are part of normal ageing or something that may need further attention.
Our healthcare team can:
Discuss any concerns you may have about memory or thinking changes
Provide an initial assessment
Arrange further investigations if needed
Connect you with appropriate health professionals and support services
Support individuals, families and carers throughout the process
