Theme: STEPS TO TAKE WHEN AGEING PARENTS NEED ASSISTANCE
Welcome to Dementia Awareness. Please join us in spreading dementia awareness in our society, together with other dementia organisations. While researchers continue to investigate better care for people living with the condition, as well as better support for those caring for them, it is critical to understand some steps you can take to care for an ageing parent. It is also critical that you understand what to expect, and as studies have shown, someone in the world is diagnosed with dementia every three seconds. As a result, being proactive is preferable to being reactive. We intend to utilise this opportunity to remind everyone that dementia affects approximately 920,000 people in the United Kingdom alone, as well as over 55 million people worldwide and that the numbers are growing. We must continue to increase awareness of dementia, especially in light of recent occurrences. The COVID-19 outbreak impacted everyone, but notably persons with dementia, and the exact extent of the impact on this population remains unknown. We wish to encourage our friends and family to seek treatment if they see inexplicable changes in the behaviour or look of a loved one. We must eliminate the stigma and isolation that come with dementia. We all want to be more aware of dementia, and early detection is crucial in dementia care.
