Indicator name:
Dementia care: majority provider of respite care for dementia carers [public, private]
Indicator Id:
5177
Rationale:
The creation and implementation of means to deliver multisectoral care, support and services for carers will help to meet the needs of carers, and prevent a decline in their physical and mental health and social well-being.
Definition:
Identifies the majority provider of respite care to support carers of people with dementia. Majority provider of care is defined as providing care to 50% or more of users. Respite care is defined as time away from the caring role to engage in other activities of choice, knowing the care recipient is happy and receiving quality care. This contributes to the ultimate aims of supporting ageing in place for all people, including people with dementia, ensuring that they receive high-quality care, and reducing the likelihood of health problems in carers.
