Portal name announcement!: "Your Care Navigator"

Your Care Navigator

Dementia support and resources

yourcarenavigator.com.au

Your home, your health, your way

"Your Care Navigator" has been chosen as the favourable naming option for the dementia service navigation portal.

Consumers and carers have given feedback and supported this name.

We found from people living with dementia, families and carers, and other colleagues at BNPHN they felt: 

• The "Your" feels empowering and "makes me feel like I am important".
• The "Navigator" aligns with the successful peer navigator COTA program, that BNPHN will be helping to expand in our region in the next FY.
• The website will act to help people 'navigate' the aged care system, find support near them and learn about dementia. 
• Dementia support and resources as the second line tells user what they will be finding on the website.
• "Your Home" - people want to receive their care closer to what they call as home and stay in the community as long as possible.
• "Your Health" - encouraging people to manage their health and wellbeing. 
• "Your Way" - puts the power back to the consumer, and makes them feel that they have ownership. Each journey with dementia is different and people, families and carers want to access services their way. 
• The tag line - "Your home, your health, your way" also aligns with the BNPHN care coordination team tagline

To remind you all, this website long term plan is to be expanded into health ageing and others supports (this is why we could not have the term 'dementia' in the title). 

Please let me know if you have any thoughts!

We can still make slight changes :)
