Aged Care Sunshine Coast

Why consider aged care in Sunshine Coast

Like its glitzier Gold Coast cousin, the Sunshine Coast has grown to blend into the Queensland capital. As such it can be said to extend from Brisbane’s suburbs of Caboolture and Bribie Island to as far north as Noosa. Inland towns like Cooroy, Nambour, Woombye and Kilcoy may also be considered part of the region. The subtropical climate features mild and dry winters, with summers warmer and more humid. Nursing homes and aged care facilities are well supported by both the Sunshine Coast and Metro North Health Services, with the major Sunshine Coast University Hospital located in Birtinya just south of Maroochydore.

Unique test can predict if you have dementia up to nine years earlier

An international research team led by Queen Mary University of London, UK, has developed a new method for predicting dementia with an over 80 per cent accuracy and up to nine years before diagnosis.
