Policy makers support Alzheimer Europe's call to make Alzheimer's disease a European public health priority

Alzheimer Europe

7 November 2006

On 21 September 2006, in order to celebrate the World Alzheimer's Day, Alzheimer Europe published a pan-European report: 'Who cares? The state of dementia care in Europe', which highlights serious gaps in dementia care.

The report summarises the findings of the 'Dementia Carer's Survey' and reveal that more than half of carers surveyed do not have access to services such as home care, day care, or residential/nursing home care, and when these services are available, many carers have to pay themselves.
