Coolibah Care

If you, a family member, or a friend has ever driven home from a visiting a loved one in a residential aged care home and found yourself wondering if the right decision was made ... then read on.

Moving a loved one with dementia into residential aged care is one of the hardest decisions a family can make. For many people, the relief of knowing they are safe and cared for sits right alongside a guilt that is hard to shake.

You are not alone in that.

As part of our Dementia Series, we talk about it honestly in our latest blog - why guilt is so common after this kind of decision, what it's really telling you, and how families find their way through.

What a month April has been at Coolibah Care.

Easter bonnet parades full of colour and creativity, solemn and heartfelt ANZAC Day reflections, and some really important conversations with our community about the care that matters most to them.

It's the moments in between the big days that remind us why we love what we do - the laughter, the connection, and the privilege of being part of this community.

Swipe through for a little glimpse of our April 💛

To all our veterans and serving personnel, thank you for your service and sacrifice. You carried more than we will ever fully understand. Lest we forget.

We've made something for the families who are quietly holding it all together. 💙

If someone you love is living with dementia, or has recently moved into residential care, we know how much you're carrying right now.

The questions that keep coming. The guilt you weren't expecting. The moments where you just don't know what comes next.

You're not alone in that.

We've created the Coolibah Dementia Support Series, a collection of articles written for families navigating dementia and aged care, from the emotions of the move right through to the harder conversations that come later.

Our first article is live now, and it starts right where so many families find themselves: the days after the move.

"After the Move: Supporting Someone You Love with Dementia in Residential Aged Care" walks through what typically happens next, emotionally and practically, and why everything you're feeling makes sense.

More articles in the series are coming soon. If you know a family who could use a little support right now, please share this post. You never know who needs to read it. 💙
