Almost a million people in the UK have dementia and it’s estimated that over 35 million people personally know someone with dementia – more than half the population. It is more common in older people but can affect people of working age or even younger.

Contrary to common opinion, it is not a natural part of the ageing process and is more than a memory problem – it is an umbrella term used for illnesses that affect the brain.

Caring for someone with dementia can be very challenging – the illnesses can impact on a person’s behaviours, thoughts and feelings, often presenting complex problems to families and health and social care professionals, such as aggression, sleeplessness, wandering, continence etc.
