Yes, but not specifically for people living with dementia.

Yes. Like the assessment and management of BPSD mentioned above, Day Care Units and District Elderly Community Centres offer psychosocial services and rehabilitation services to people with dementia.

From the healthcare sector, multi-disciplinary teams led by doctors in public hospitals also plan and provide day rehabilitation services in line with the needs of the people with dementia (Legislative Council, 2017).

There are a few dementia activities centres and day-care centres in the country that provide cognitive stimulation and support functional rehabilitation for people with dementia.

Puskesmas santun lansia (geriatric friendly Puskesmas) provide promotive, preventive, curative, and rehabilitative services including psychosocial therapy services in rehabilitative sectors (Zakiah, 2017). The services consist of psychological health services and cognitive activities for older people, which aim to support older people in preserving their functional abilities and independency (Aistyawati, 2016).

Yes – see part 3.

Yes, these largely rely on the NGO-sector, FBO’s, and private care facilities to provide psychosocial support. Alongside the private sector, dementia care services are largely provided by the NGO-sector (neither public or private sector) (for examples see TAFTA: Care of the elderly at https://www.tafta.org.za/ and Hospice Palliative Care Association of South Africa at https://hpca.co.za/). Services in this sector range from psychosocial support and education, training of carers, daily living support, palliative, and end-of-life care.
