When we think of people with dementia, we all have a picture of it. Many of these images show an older person. In recent years, however, we have seen an increasing number of younger elderly people with dementia.
These people have often just retired, sometimes the partner is still working. There are gaps where people would still like to mean something to society. Or because these people themselves lack the overview and lose control or because society thinks they do not belong. The partner suddenly finds itself in a completely different rhythm of life. Social contacts can change and still not everyone knows how to best deal with this disease.
