‘Redressing Abuse and Neglect of People Living with Dementia in Residential Aged Care’ is led by chief investigator Dr Linda Steele from the University of Technology, and Kate Swaffer, a co-founder of Dementia Alliance International (DAI).
Informed by the perspectives and experiences of people living with dementia and their care partners, family members, advocates and lawyers, this project will explore the need to redress (i.e., right the wrongs of) neglect and abuse of people living with dementia in Australian residential aged care facilities and older people’s mental health facilities (‘residential care’). The project will consider why and how to right the wrongs of abuse and neglect and how redress might be supported by the legal profession in order to contribute to justice, healing and closure for the dementia community.
