Navigating care transitions can be challenging for people living with dementia, their families and health care professionals. New routines, environments and caregivers may cause distress and behaviour changes, meaning thoughtful planning is essential. This guide offers practical strategies to support smoother transitions.

Every move is unique but, in most cases, clear communication and person-centred care can improve the experience. Whether transitioning between home, hospital or residential care, this resource provides key considerations and risk reduction strategies to help maintain dignity and comfort.

This guide will give you practical strategies and expert tips to make the move from hospital to aged care with confidence.
