‘It’s Not Dementia Killing Me, It’s Exhaustion’

The head of the Alzheimer’s Society says that the UK is facing a humanitarian crisis, because the care system is failing those with dementia and their families.The number of us who will provide care at home for a loved one with dementia is set to rise by almost one million by 2035. Here are the stories of Anne and Julia – who both care full time for their husbands. Anne’s husband John has been assessed as having no mental capacity and goes to a day centre two days a week. Julia spent months fighting for social services and occupational therapy help for her husband Bob. He is currently being assessed in a home, after he went missing and was found during an extensive police search.
