Support for caring relatives
Caring for relatives with dementia is often a challenge that requires a lot of time and attention. This is where the national dementia strategy comes into play. A major goal of this strategy is to support caring relatives through preventative and relieving measures. This includes a variety of organizations that address the needs of carers and provide advice.
Particular attention is paid to the frequent neglect of relatives' own needs. The dementia weeks therefore not only provide information about the disease, but also support for the carers themselves in order to prevent overload. Measures to achieve this are not only important – they are urgently needed in our aging society.
The Dementia Weeks in Amberg are not only an opportunity to find out and exchange information, but also a sign for the community to underline the importance of the topic of dementia. Everyone is invited to stop by and be part of this important initiative!
