This is our dementia - seven dementia stories

Dementia devastates lives in ways we rarely see. Not just the life of the person with dementia, but the lives of those who care for them.
We take you behind closed doors as Beverly, Mark, Errol, Alma, Liz, Trevor and Eugenie share intimate details of the harsh realities they, along with millions of others across the UK, face every day.
We’re the only dementia charity that offers dedicated support to those who need us now, campaigns for change, and funds groundbreaking research for a better tomorrow. We will end the devastation caused by dementia.
If you are concerned about dementia, call our Dementia support line on 0333 150 3456 or visit www.alzheimers.org.uk/

What is dementia?
‘Dementia’ describes a group of symptoms that include problems with memory, thinking or language, and changes in mood, emotions, perception and behaviour. Dementia is a progressive disease, which means symptoms may be relatively mild at first, but they get worse over time. There are many types of dementia but Alzheimer’s disease is the most common. The next most common is vascular dementia.
If you need dementia support, we’re here for you. Get personalised information, support and advice by calling our Dementia Connect support line on 0333 150 3456 or visit us at www.alzheimers.org.uk/
