| Description | Living well with dementia:
Transforming the quality and experience of dementia care for the people of Suffolk. Dementia is wreathed in stigma, misunderstood and often not diagnosed quickly enough, leaving individuals with dementia, their families and carers in difficult circumstances. The number of people living in Suffolk affected by dementia is set to rise by 65% for those aged 65 and over – from 9,870 people in 2008 to an expected 16,327 people in 2025. Over the same time, there will be a rise from 199 to 232 of those people aged between 30 and 64 diagnosed with dementia. In Suffolk we have consulted widely with people, including family carers, over several months to understand the current picture, what is needed and what will best work in achieving the aims of the strategy. |
