Helen O’Callaghan says children need to be told if a relative is suffering from dementia so they can understand the changes in their behaviour.

Smoking, heart disease, and high blood pressure contribute to dementia but most people still regard the condition as a normal part of aging, a study shows.

We are barely at the races when it comes to tackling dementia, says Catherine Shanahan

A population of 30,000 living with dementia in the community has access to just 66 respite beds in nursing homes specifically designed to cater for the illness, a study has found.

A new Trinity College study has found that just 11% of nursing homes have dedicated dementia care units.
