Ireland has one of the highest populations of people over the age of 75 and has the highest number of estimated people living with dementia as per 2018 figures. (Dementia Services in Ireland, 2018, National Dementia Office - NDO) is unique with the joint- highest proportions of older adults >65 years in Ireland. 16.9% of our population are over 65 with 27.9% of those living alone.
