View the latest news, research and information which we have gathered together from the dementia care sector.
care quality comission – Health and social care support for people with dementia
Dementia Strategy: a review of the experiences of people with dementia and how health and care services are responding.
The number of people being diagnosed with dementia is increasing. In February 2025, nearly half a million people in England had a dementia diagnosis.
The likelihood of developing dementia, becoming an informal carer or both in a lifetime in the UK is 55% (around 1 in 2).
For this report we looked at what people were telling us, through surveys and feedback, about their experiences of living with dementia when using health and adult social care services, including the experiences of families and carers.
RESEARCH – Giving people with dementia a voice
