Listen: the unseen burden of dementia care

Supporting someone with a dementia diagnosis is often a difficult task that poses challenges that often go unseen.

In fact, almost half (45%) of people who are caring for someone with dementia spend between 10-19 hours a week doing so, with 1 in 10 carers spending upwards of 35 hours caring, which has vast implications on their own lives.

Now, new findings by the charity Dementia UK, the specialist dementia nursing charity, highlight the emotional impact of caring for someone with dementia.
