Notas do Editor
- It is important to understand the true implications of these statistics in relation to our everyday lives. 750,000 people in the UK have dementia. If we accept that we are all unique individuals with our own life history, beliefs and values, then we must accept that no two people will experience their journey through dementia in the same way.
- For the 16,000 younger people under the age of 65, the experience of dementia will present very different challenges. Many people within this age bracket will still be working, will still have financial commitments and may also have dependent children still living at home. How might it feel to be told you can no longer do your job because of your memory problems? How do you explain to a child why Mum doesn’t remember their name or tells them to go home? The issues for younger people with dementia are very different and require a different type of support and guidance to that for older people.
- There are 11,500 people with dementia from black and minority ethnic groups in the UK. Of the huge variety of different languages spoken in the UK many don’t have a literal translation for the word dementia. Simple language barriers can make it extremely difficult to explain what the person is experiencing and how best to support them. Cultural differences also need to be carefully considered to avoid offence and aid understanding.
- • One third of people over 95 have dementia but this is rarely acknowledged as a physical disease that is slowly destroying brain cells. Dementia is not a natural part of ageing.
- • 60,000 deaths each year are attributable to dementia yet often the presence of dementia is not recorded on the death certificate. Only once this happens routinely can we more accurately appreciate the actual impact of the disease.
- • With unpaid carers saving the UK over £6 billion each year, how would the UK economy support people with dementia if they didn’t fulfil this role?
- • 64% of people living in care homes have a form of dementia but how many actually receive a diagnosis? Without a diagnosis we can’t begin to understand what the person’s individual needs may be. If we don’t understand what parts of the brain are damaged, how can we provide appropriate support?
- • Two thirds of people with dementia live in the community. Some live alone and are dependent on family and friends to help and support them.
- We are trialling First Click materials with some groups of our staff to see if this will bring everyone up to a basic level. Very confident that it will!! Great resources to use in sessions and online educational games to improve keyboard, mouse and internet skills.
