Rehabilitation for people with dementia [ 2017 - ]

Research Grant

Researchers: A/Pr LeeFay Low (Principal investigator)

Brief description At the moment, people with dementia are not offered rehabilitation, even though this may help them communicate, function and live better. I will test and advocate for rehabilitation interventions immediately post-diagnosis and as part of home and residential care. As a leader in dementia research at the University of Sydney I will grow my research team and lead new cross-disciplinary collaborations. I will also continue to influence policy and services.
