New report: Carers of people with dementia not receiving support they need

A new report from Carers Trust has found that carers of people with dementia are not getting the support and advice they often desperately need.

‘A road less rocky – supporting people with dementia’ found that only 51% of carers questioned said that they were given an opportunity to talk separately about their needs and how much care they felt able to provide.

56% of carers questioned said that they had not received information about managing the medication of those they cared for. More than half (52%) of carers said that they had been given no information on how to cope with incontinence.
