| Popis: | COVID-19 has brought death and dying to the forefront, yet dementia is the most common cause of death in men and women older than 80 years Studies predict that deaths from dementia will increase from around 59 000 per year in 2014 to around 220,000 per year by 2040 This study reflects that a vital organisational response in their management of COVID-19 for families affected by dementia would provide better support for family carers to help maintain resilience and psychological and mental wellbeing The UK is arguably in a good position by having existing services to provide such support Admiral Nurses are specialists in dementia care who use a case management approach to support the whole family unit affected by dementia, from the point of diagnosis to end-of-life care, and provide continued support of family carers in bereavement |
