This month we mark World Alzheimer’s Day. Did your readers know
there are 850,000 people living with dementia in the UK, with numbers
set to rise to over one million by 2025?
In many ways Alzheimer’s and dementia are very unforgiving
conditions both for the people affected and for those they hold close.
The future can seem uncertain and it can be hard to know where to
turn.
With the risk of developing age related conditions including
Alzheimer’s and dementia increasing year on year, I’d like to take
a moment to reassure your readers that they needn’t face the
challenges that dementia can bring alone, we’re here to help.
I work for Revitalise, a wonderful charity that provides respite
holidays for disabled people and carers – including people affected by
Alzheimer’s and dementia – at our three accessible UK centres.
Our specialist Alzheimer’s Weeks are devoted to couples and
families living with the condition. Each and every aspect of our
unique weeks are designed with our guests in mind, enabling carers and
their loved ones to relax and take time to enjoy priceless moments
together.
