It can never take away my love for you
A strong and touching film from the perspective of a husband who is caring for his wife who has dementia. A short but memorable film that tugs at the heart strings and captures the trials and tribulations faced by family caregivers all over the world.

An amazing website (Alzheimer’s – Dementia in My Family) for kids, dementia in my family is a website by Alzheimer’s Australia. The website recognises the needs of children from pre-school to 16+ and provides information catered specially to each age group.
Interactive pages, ebook, videos, and illustrations in beautiful eye-catching detail that is sure to keep the kids engaged and learning about dementia. For kids who are a bit more adventurous, there is even a quiz at the end!
Below are some examples of the illustrations seen in the pre-school read along. How straight forward is this explanation of the brain and dementia!

- Visual access to bathroom from the bed
- Taps and plumbing of a simple traditional design
