40% of family caregivers looking after someone with Alzheimer’s say they experience high or very high emotional stress levels. In support of World Alzheimer’s Awareness Month, NRS Healthcare have released a Carer’s Guide to Alzheimer’s Disease in order to highlight the vital role that carers play and to offer some advice on dealing with specific situations carers may encounter.
Over 850,000 people are currently living with dementia and Alzheimer’s across the UK, with numbers set to reach over 1 million by 2025 and 2 million by 2051. However, there are many more people who feel the effects of the disease in their lives every day: the caregivers and families of those living with dementia and Alzheimer’s.
