We can work together to make our hospitals dementia friendly.
🧠This week is Dementia Action Week! 1 in 4 hospital beds are occupied by people living with dementia. People with dementia often face longer hospital stays and delays in leaving. It's time to ensure they have the support and understanding they need #DementiaActionWeek

Listen to how Adrian's family use the Alzheimer's society to support them to allow them to support Adrian and each other. The work they do is invaluable, especially at this time of year. @alzheimerssoc
