About Dementia Pathways

This website includes resources and guidance to support good practice in dementia care. It is a tool for Health and Social Care Professionals to assist them to support people living with dementia and their families. Dementia Pathways complements www.understandtogether.ie which is an online resource for the general public offering information, service sign-posting, and advice on dementia.

There are 64,142 people currently living with dementia in Ireland. With age being the main risk factor for dementia, this number is expected to rise alongside population ageing to 150,131 by 2045. People living with dementia will require care and support across different care settings. This can also be true for their care partners.
