209,600 will develop dementia this year, that’s one every three minutes. 70 per cent of people in care homes have dementia or severe memory problems. Currently, some 850,000 people are thought to be living with the illness, this expected to rise to one million by 2025 and two million by 2051. Dementia is a growing challenge to health and social care provision and society in general.
