Dementia Care
Dementia is a disease which causes a decline in brain function. There are around 850,000 people with dementia in the UK and it is estimated 1 in 6 people over the age of 80 have dementia. The risk of dementia significantly increases with age.
For the individual and their family and friends, living with the enormity of dementia can be baffling. People are affected by dementia in different ways and have varying levels of family and friend support, so no care plan should be the same.
