We are building WA’s first purpose-built Young Onset Dementia (YOD) home — a place of dignity, purpose, and connection for people in their 30s–60s living with dementia.
Co-designed with families and guided by national dementia design priniciples, this world-class home in Waikiki will provide a safe, age-appropriate, and enabling environment for people living with young onset dementia. As a first-of-its-kind model in WA, the home will not only transform the lives of residents and their families but also pave the way for best practice dementia care across the sector.
Brightwater is seeking support to establish this purpose-built Young Onset Dementia home in Waikiki.
