Alzheimers and their carers
The guest this week In Conversation with Noel Cheer on Face Television is the Executive Director of Alzheimers NZ, Catherine Hall.
The World Alzheimer Report, released in September, predicts that the number of dependent older people worldwide will nearly treble in less than 40 years. Nearly half of these elderly people will be living with Alzheimer’s disease or another form of dementia. The Report recommends that countries start a national conversation about the funding and structure of services for people with dementia, and work towards national dementia planning.
