In this video, we explore the decision-making process for carers of people living with dementia, focusing on the choice between returning home or transitioning to residential care after a hospital stay. Meet Jack, a person living with dementia, whose daughter-in-law Emily and family are navigating this often-challenging decision and how they are supported by Dementia Support Australia.
