In an interview with Hessischer Rundfunk, CRC 1436 spokesperson Emrah Düzel discusses these topics, as approximately 1.8 million people in Germany are living with dementia, most of them with Alzheimer’s. At the same time, the approach to the disease has changed: early detection, new treatments, and a better understanding of dementia are opening up new possibilities.
However, those affected and their families continue to face major challenges. There is a lack of suitable care, support, and assistance services, while a large portion of the care is provided by families.

Experts in neurology, nursing, and gerontology, as well as family members affected by the disease, discuss Alzheimer’s, dementia, care, and support in everyday life.
