My customers regularly travel up to 4 hours to Toowoomba for health services that we took for granted in Bundaberg and Brisbane.

Introduction
Dementia is a broad term used to encompass a large group of illnesses defined by a progressive decline in a person’s functioning (e.g. memory, intellect, rationality, social skills and physicality). It is most frequently due to, but is not limited to, Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Mild cognitive impairment (MCI) is a preceding state that is also most commonly due to AD and is sometimes called prodromal AD.
