152 Million People.
That's the expected number of people around the world that will be experiencing some form of dementia by 2050. A number that will have tripled from current figures in only a couple of decades. So how will we support them, especially with one of the most important activities of daily living - eating? The good news is that there are great resources and experts that can help with this difficult task. And Aaron was able to connect with Toni Fisk to get her insights and expertise on how to make it easier for both the person with dementia, and those that are caring for them.
