Author: Lindsay Kinnaird

Dementia is a complex illness that impacts on the lives of 84,000 people in Scotland with the condition, their families and carers. The experience of the illness is subjective and unique to each individual. Effectively tackling the symptoms and consequences of dementia requires a coordinated range of health and social care interventions.

This report by Alzheimer Scotland sets out an integrated and comprehensive, evidence-based approach to supporting people with dementia living at home during the moderate to severe stages of the illness.
