Dementia: Knowing the person

"Once you've met one person with dementia…you've met one person with dementia."

Unlike most studies that rely on the views of staff and carers, our report examines the experiences of 424 people with moderate to advanced stages of dementia.

There are growing numbers of people living with dementia in care homes, currently estimated at 244,000 people.
