Verbatim
“Social isolation is one of the biggest risk factors linked to developing dementia later in life. Staying socially active, whether it's spending time with friends or family, or making an effort to get to know your colleagues at work, helps keep your brain active, while also reducing stress and supports the neural pathways that protect against cognitive decline.”
“Sensory issues are not always recognised as dementia symptoms and as a result, are not often reported as such. These sensory issues could be increased sensitivity to noise, changes to smells and also the way that food tastes which may cause a loved one to not to enjoy food they might have used to.”
