"My Mum, Anna, was the strongest person I’ve ever known. She was diagnosed with vascular dementia, aged 79. 💙 Thank you to Shara for sharing your story and talking about how vital Admiral Nurse support was, during your mum's dementia journey: dementiauk.org/information-an…

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…

Children or young people are sometimes the first to find a loved one who has fallen – particularly if they have a parent with young onset dementia, so it is important that they also know what to do… Our falls leaflet covers this area… dementiauk.org/information-an…

Great opportunity to have been able to contribute and write three chapters within this book ✔️Managing falls risk ✔️Delirium and inpatient care ✔️Increasing frailty in carers Having seen the book in it’s completed form - i’m sure it’ll prove to be a fabulous resource 💫 x.com/dementiauk/s...
