🧩 Puzzles and games – stimulate your brain with crosswords or Sudoku

Debunking palliative care myths 🔍

There are many misconceptions about palliative care, but it's important to separate fact from fiction. As part of National Palliative Care Week, let’s clear up some common myths:
❌ Myth 1: Pain is an inevitable part of dying.
✅ Fact: Palliative care focuses on managing pain and symptoms, ensuring comfort and quality of life. Many people experience minimal or no pain with the right care.
❌ Myth 2: Palliative care is only available in your last few days of life.
✅ Fact: Palliative care can be provided at any stage of a serious illness, not just at the end of life. It’s about improving quality of life from diagnosis onward.
❌ Myth 3: Palliative care hastens death.
✅ Fact: Palliative care aims to relieve suffering and improve comfort, not speed up death. It can actually help people live longer by managing symptoms and improving overall well-being.
❌ Myth 4: You can only receive palliative care in a hospital.
✅ Fact: Palliative care can be delivered in various settings, including at home, in hospice, or in specialised clinics. It’s all about meeting your needs where you are.

National Palliative Care Week 2025: 'What’s Your Plan?' 🕊️

Every day, 400 Australians lose their battle with terminal illness, yet too many miss out on palliative care which can bring comfort and dignity in their final days, weeks or months.

This National Palliative Care Week, we’re asking: 'What’s your plan?' It's a simple yet powerful question to encourage conversations about end-of-life care and empower individuals to make informed choices.

It's time to have that conversation with the people you trust.

Adjusting to a dementia diagnosis can be overwhelming, but understanding the condition can make all the difference for both you and your loved ones.

As a carer, understanding what dementia is, recognising the challenges, and learning effective management strategies are key to providing the best care possible.

Ageing with asthma 💨

Did you know asthma can affect older adults just as much as younger ones? In fact, 10% of Aussies aged 65+ and 14% of those 75+ have asthma but here’s the problem - many don’t realise it.

As we age, it’s easy to attribute symptoms like coughing or shortness of breath to getting older. But these could be signs of asthma and leaving it untreated can impact your quality of life.

If you’re over 65 and noticing breathing issues, don't delay talking to your doctor.
