Young people talk about their experiences of having a grandparent with dementia.

There are more than 700,000 people in the UK affected by dementia with numbers set to rise to 1 million by 2021. More than half of these have Alzheimer's disease.

Alzheimer's Society is the UK's leading care and research charity for people with dementia and those who care for them.

  • when I was kid my grandfather teached me a lot of important things about life .

    last time I went there to visit him , after we talk a lot he said that Im a nice guy and to come to visit him again any time I want ,after that he turned to my grandmother and asked ,Maria who is this nice guy?

    Before I left I said to him, dont you worry if you dont remember me , because I will never forget you .

  • my mom had early onset alzheimers 1960-2004. i was 22.

  • awful awful disease! COME ON AND LETS HOPEFULLY DISCOVER A CURE! No one deserves this

  • Read my vlog about dealing with a grandparent with dementia. Its jodijohnson.blog.com. The name of it is I'd Eat Men (dementia)

  • What a lovely thing to say. I am crying.

  • THIS IS SO SCARY!!!!! AND SO SAD

  • this brought a tear to my eye. my grandmother suffered from alzheimers for many years before i was born, my earliest memory (age 5) of her is her sat in a nursing home just babbleing, she was unable to talk.

    As a child it never really bothered me because i didnt understand, but as i grew older and after her death it started to affect me, i never could have a relationship with her even though i wanted one so badly. I am now 16 and a (informal) volunteer for the south warwichshire branch.

  • im sorry, thats hard. my mom'sgranmother couldn't remeber her name when she went to visit. she came home in tears.
