Dementia Friendly Guide

In the UK, about 225,000 people develop dementia each year, which means one person gets it every three minutes. Dementia is a brain condition, and its effects can be different for each person. Everyone’s experience with dementia is unique.

It’s important not to wait too long to seek help. Getting a diagnosis is crucial to accessing and receiving the right services. Knowledge about dementia can help you deal with it, accept the situation, and plan for the future.
