Two charities claim that people who have dementia lack proper care. Senior Helpers resolves this issue by utilizing Senior Gems® to provide quality care for older adults with dementia.

 
[b][TOWSON, 06/04/2018][/b] — According to a report from Alzheimer’s Society and the Marie Curie Cancer Care, two charity organizations, patients with dementia are facing obstacles in receiving the care they need. The reason behind this is that people do not recognize dementia as a terminal illness.

The report talked about the terminal nature of dementia, calling it a silent epidemic. It revealed that the main hurdles to proper care include inconsistent quality of care, inequality of access, insufficient pain management, and poor recognition of dementia as the cause of death.

Phil McCarvill, Marie Curie’s Head of Policy and Public Affairs, remarked that individuals with dementia have highly specific needs. Services, all too often, do not respond to the individual’s needs. Jeremy Hughes, a Chief Executive at Alzheimer’s Society, added that a lot of things need to happen to improve care.

Moreover, the program allows the company to come up with a great long-term caring plan for the elderly client.
