Living with dementia.
One in nine people over the age of 65 has Alzheimer’s, usually – though not always – requiring adjustment in lifestyle, not only for the person with this form of dementia, but for their partner, family, and friends.
Knowing how to spot early signs of dementia can help us all cope better with a distressing situation. There are many things that can be done to ensure that the person with dementia still enjoys life.
We aim to give you the knowledge you need to feel empowered.
Help from Age in Spain
Are you living with dementia, or know someone who is?
We are regularly contacted by people who are living with dementia - especially carers - who may be living with their family member or who live away and are trying to support their loved one as best they can. We are not dementia specialists but we can help you with information and signposting, so that you can make the best choices for your situation and access available services.
Dementia support information and resources
There are many specialist organisations worldwide, which provide information and support services for people living with dementia. Here is a small selection from those with information (mainly) in English.
