A recent survey conducted by Dementia Australia has found that 65 percent of those living with dementia feel that the people they know have been avoiding or excluding them.
Furthermore, 81 percent of family members, friends. or carers who responded to the survey felt that people in public places treat people with dementia differently.
The survey results have been released as part of Dementia Action Week 2020, and aim to bring to light the discrimination that many dementia patients experience.
