Cultura: New App in dementia care
Cultura, a new smartphone App launched by Alzheimer’s Australia SA, is designed to assist staff to provide culturally appropriate support to enable them to better relate and communicate with individuals from different cultures. The App and website include comprehensive information about each culture including traditions, spirituality, communication and attitudes to dementia, other health issues and aged care.
