Over 800 local people living with dementia

New figures just released by the Alzheimer’s Society have revealed that 806 people are currently living with dementia in Ballymena.

And, according to the charity’s latest report, many of those people are not living well.

Alzheimer’s Society is urging the Department of Health, Social Service and Public Safety (DHSSPS) to take full advantage of our integrated health and social care system to ensure that people with dementia receive the care and support they need from diagnosis to end of life.
