DeNPRU Exeter publish report on living alone with dementia
DeNPRU (Policy Research Unit Dementia and Neurodegeneration) Exeter has published a report entitled ‘Living alone with dementia: a neglected inequality’.
The report details that as many as one in three of all people with dementia live alone. It challenges the assumption that people with dementia will have a carer available, and highlights the lack of NHS services and community provision for people who live alone.
‘Living alone with dementia: a neglected inequality’ also makes recommendations about what needs to change to ensure there are appropriate services and support for people who live alone with dementia.
