Deaths from Alzheimer's disease, dementia and senility in England
Care homes will face particular challenges in responding to the inevitable rise in dementia, including Alzheimer's, a report suggests today.
The report, Deaths from Alzheimer's disease, dementia and senility in England, published by the National End of Life Care Intelligence Network (NEoLCIN), says commissioners and providers across adult health and social care will be faced with meeting the needs of more people dying with these conditions as the population ages. It confirms that, unlike other conditions, most people with dementia, including Alzheimer's, die in care homes.
