Dementia is a team game

Today, more than 800,000 people live with dementia in the UK. This is projected to grow by up to 40% within the next 15 years.

I was really touched by the following video of a family who supported their relative living with dementia

Dementia can affect people in different ways, or with different combinations of symptoms.
It may affect people’s reasoning, their ability to communicate and their memory so they might have difficulty recognising their friends and family 

The person with dementia needs the support and care every bit as much as the person with heart failure or the person with chronic physical disability.
