It is estimated that over 700,000 people in the UK have dementia, with this figure to rise to a million within 20 years. How can we help both the sufferer and the carers to maintain both a dignified and for as long as possible, an independent life?
I have been searching for products that will help anybody who is involved with or suffering from dementia and I would be grateful for your feedback, you can email me at debbie.harris@best-care-home.co.uk.
Keeping interested in hobbies can help with confidence and boredom;
