Free Telehealth Trial for Dementia (失智症) Patients and Caregivers
The University of Melbourne is recruiting participants for a free telehealth trial for dementia (失智症) patients and caregivers. This is for an international study called HOMESIDE, which is exploring the effects of music and reading interventions for people living with dementia and their family caregivers.
In this study, only the carer must speak English (the person with dementia does not have to), so this would be a wonderful way to support them to manage challenging behaviours as well as create opportunities to share meaningful moments with their loved one.
More information can be found in the attachment, or by contacting:
