The Abbott Government has cancelled the $16 a day supplement paid to approved aged care providers to assist with the additional costs of caring for people with severe behavioural and psychological symptoms associated with dementia. As our population ages we will need to do more, not less to address dementia and support those affected by it. Dementia and aged care are not political toys and the Abbott Government needs to get on with the job of governing and addressing the challenges we face in caring for people with severe symptoms of dementia. It’s simply not good enough. Senior Australians in residential aged care deserve better. Sign the petition and tell Tony Abbott cutting funds for dementia care is unfair.
