Hospital to Home
Hospital to home in Brisbane North
We work closely with the teams at Royal Brisbane and Women's Hospital and The Prince Charles Hospital. When a patient living with dementia or cognitive decline is medically ready to leave but has nowhere safe to go, we meet them on the ward, not at the front door. We attend discharge meetings at no charge, source a medium term home in 5 to 7 days, and send the treating team a written update every week. One named contact stays with the person from referral to permanent home.

In their words.
“When Mum was diagnosed with early-onset Alzheimer's at 58, we were completely lost. Every provider we called said they 'do dementia too' but it was always an afterthought. Dementia Care Queensland was the first place where the person on the other end of the phone actually understood what we were going through.”
“I'm 54 and I've been living with vascular dementia for two years. I still want to live. I still want to be me. The team at Dementia Care Queensland gets that. They've helped me stay in my own home, keep doing the things I love, and plan for a future I can feel dignified about.”
“As a referring clinician, I need to trust that the providers I recommend can match the complexity of my patients' conditions. Dementia Care Queensland is the only NDIS provider I refer dementia patients to without hesitation. Their coordinators ask the right questions, understand disease progression, and plan ahead.”
