30 years ago, HammondCare built the first purpose-built dementia cottage, based on principles designed to improve the physical and social environment for people living with dementia. And The Dementia Centre was born.

In 2024, the Australian Government launched guidelines based on the same approach, formalising for the whole sector the change we've championed and refined.

Our dementia-enabling design and care is industry-leading, proven in practice and informed by the voices that matter most to us - people living with dementia, and the people who care for them.
