The article discusses the ways Rural Northwest Health supported consumers with dementia or cognitive impairment, along with their carers, living in the community and in residential aged care during an extended period of lockdown and restricted interactions with the outside world during COVID-19. Topics include broad range of measures to enable connection between our residential care consumers; and an extensive range of community health and allied health services.
