What is Dementia 2013?

We are committed to exploring the experiences of people with dementia around seven outcomes that are important to their quality of life in the National Dementia Declaration.  The inaugural report Dementia 2012 was published in March 2012 at a conference, alongside the launch of the Prime Minister's challenge on dementia.

Dementia 2012 highlighted that people with dementia living in the community often feel lonely and do not always feel part of their community. They also want to live in an area where others have a high level of awareness and understanding of dementia and where they are supported to live independently.

Dementia 2013 will draw together evidence of people with dementia's experiences of living in their local area and explore what they would like to see changed.  A key aim of this report is to ensure that people with dementia who feel socially isolated can get access to the services and support that they need within their community.
