Focusing on living with dementia
Dementia care is a central theme of our event this October. We know that living with dementia or caring for someone who does can be challenging, and also we know that the numbers are bigger. In Dudley in 2020*, there were 2,547 people aged 65 and over living with dementia, representing 3.76% of that age group. This number is set to increase, making it crucial to raise awareness and emphasise the importance of early diagnosis to provide support and slow the progression of the disease as much as possible.
That’s why we’re dedicating a significant portion of the day to practical strategies and advice for creating a dementia-friendly home environment. You’ll learn about tools and resources to assist with daily routines, get tips for safety and comfort, and have the chance to speak with local experts who understand your needs.
