Dementia

According to estimates, about 1.8 million people in Germany are living with dementia. There are various forms and progressions of the disease. The prevalence of dementia increases with age. About two-thirds of those affected live in their own homes and are cared for by family members, relatives, and with the help of professional services.

The diagnosis of dementia often leads to uncertainty for those affected and their families, raises questions, and not infrequently results in overwhelm.

This Dementia Guide aims to counteract this. It is designed to provide an initial overview and to show interested parties and those affected the structures for information, help, and support. Should services or offerings from individual providers inadvertently be omitted or not fully listed, or if they have changed, please notify Ms. Prinz.
