HammondCare's Last Days Program aims to encourage public discussion about death and dying by improving awareness, creating engagement and strengthening the community’s ability to be a more death literate society.
On Sunday 7 February 2021, the long tradition of worship will be rekindled at Hammondville with the launch of HammondGrove Community Church in the lounge area of the Village Centre.
New research supported by HammondCare will investigate how paramedics can actively support the preference of a large majority of Australians with life-limiting illnesses to die at home with their loved ones.
Doctors who place people with dementia on antipsychotic drugs should have in place a deprescribing plan to eventually end treatment to help reduce the widening use of these medications.
HammondCare CEO Mike Baird has congratulated his predecessor Dr Stephen Judd on being appointed a member of the Order of Australia “for significant services to older persons living with dementia”.
In an interview with Sky News, HammondCare CEO Mike Baird says there is an urgent need for more funding in the May Federal Budget to help aged care providers.
