Today NARI will launch a new video resource that shares the experiences of family carers for people living with dementia, including the challenging, positive, and rewarding aspects of caring.
NARI has received two significant funding grants from the Australian Government’s Medical Research Future Fund to support continued research into improving the nation’s health and aged care systems.
NARI has launched a new training course, aimed at improving the quality of care for people living with dementia who experience difficulties with continence. The course will provide knowledge, skills and resources of the highest level to carers, allowing them to better support older people to age well.
As part of NAIDOC Week celebrations, SBS will feature the film, Art Centres Keep our Elders Connected, exploring the significant role Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander community-controlled art centres play in nurturing the health and wellbeing of older people and people living with dementia in remote communities across Australia.
Academic and Registered Nurse, Professor Joan Ostaszkiewicz, together with her colleagues at the National Ageing Research Institute (NARI), was awarded a $5000 funding prize for vital research into the experiences, expectations, and preferences for continence care in residential aged care homes.
