In hospitals, approximately 20- 30% of older people on medical wards will develop delirium, and up to 50% of people with dementia. Up to 50% of people who have surgery develop delirium. Most people living in care homes are also at greater risk. www.dementiauk.org/information-...

Did you know that one in three adults over the age of 65 will experience at least one fall a year? As a person gets older, the risk of falls increases, especially if they're living with another long term condition like dementia. dementiauk.org/information-an…
