My grandparents have dementia and find it very hard to go out and do simple tasks like shopping. They don't have many friends and not many people come to visit them.
My grandparents. People with dementia. The elderly. Families of people with dementia. The NHS. Care homes.
They have family who help them, but family members don't always communicate well together about what they're doing to help. Care homes can provide for people with dementia, but this can mean that they see less of their family and forget about them.
