HammondCare is an independent Christian charity specialising in aged care and dementia care, palliative care, pain, rehabilitation, older persons' mental health and younger onset dementia. Regarded as one of Australia’s most innovative health and aged care providers, HammondCare offers hospital care, residential care, dementia advisory services, and community support services across Australia and in the United Kingdom. HammondCare’s origins go back to 1932 when Anglican Archdeacon R B S Hammond provided homes for inner-city families in Sydney facing eviction during the Depression. He used his own superannuation funds to finance and create a 'rent to purchase' scheme in the area now known as Hammondville near Liverpool. HammondCare continues to pursue this mission today and our passion is improving quality of life for people in need. We serve people with complex health or aged care needs, regardless of their circumstances. For general enquiries please call: 1300 426 666 For Home Care enquiries please call: 1800 826 166 For Residential Care please call: 1800 776 112

Living with dementia doesn’t have to take away your sense of purpose.. Sister Maree Allen dedicated her life to serving others, but when her memory declined, she struggled to adjust to life at Mercy Place Rice Village. With the support of Dementia Support Australia, a new routine was created to bring back meaning and purpose, allowing her to continue a life of service to others: https://hubs.li/Q02R9v0d0 #dementiacare #DSA #dementiasupport

100-year-old HammondCare At Home client Harry Westerdyk believes the secret to a long life is prioritising family and having two perfectly cooked boiled eggs for breakfast each morning.

Luke has been caring for his partner Lisa and their three children after her diagnosis in 2020, at just 47. He described the experience as being handed a scrambled Rubik's cube, without the support to help him piece it back together. Hear Luke's powerful testimony about how support for young onset dementia patients, their carers, and families can and should be much better. #IDC2024 #dementia #youngeronsetdementia #dementiacarer
