Excellent end of life care is so important and I am passionate about providing it

Let's shine a light on a crucial topic! Did you know that more than six in ten (63%) of Alzheimer’s caregivers expect to continue having care responsibilities for the next 5 years? This statistic sheds light on the ongoing dedication and commitment of caregivers, whose support is invaluable. Additionally, it's disheartening to learn that of the total lifetime cost of caring for someone with dementia, 70% is borne by families. This highlights the significant financial burden that families often face when providing care for their loved ones battling Alzheimer's or other dementias. Beyond the statistics, it's essential to recognize the impact on individuals living with Alzheimer's or dementia. They constitute a large proportion of all elderly people who receive adult day services and nursing home care. This underscores the importance of creating supportive environments and resources for both patients and their caregivers. Visit https://lnkd.in/gMMbCrYb to find out more.

In today's environment, the demand for care is on the rise, particularly for those with complex frailty, dementia, and nursing needs. It's vital that we prioritise outcome-driven care and prevention strategies to counter deconditioning and empower individuals to maintain their independence. Preventative measures must be seen as indispensable rather than discretionary. #empowerindividuals#dementia#sam2Sam
