May is a big month for the Alzheimer’s Society, Alzheimer's awareness focuses on Dementia Awareness Week and Alzheimer's Prevention Day.
Dementia Awareness Week, which runs from the 19th to the 25th of May, aims to raise awareness about dementia and encourage action to improve the lives of people affected by it. Alzheimer's Prevention Day, on May 15th, highlights scientifically proven ways to prevent Alzheimer's disease.
Thousands of people in the UK are facing the realities of dementia alone, without access to the vital care and support that having a diagnosis can bring. A dementia diagnosis may feel daunting, but 9 out of 10 people affected by dementia told us there are clear benefits to getting a diagnosis. It means you can access the crucial treatment, care and support you need. If you’re worried about yourself, or someone close to you, then check your symptoms today using our symptoms checklist.

Alzheimer’s Request
Do not ask me to remember,
don’t try to make me understand.
Let me rest and know you’re with me,
kiss my cheek and hold my hand.
I’m confused beyond your concept,
I’m sad and sick and lost.
All I know is that I need you,
to be with me at all cost.
Do not lose your patience with me,
do not scold or curse or cry.
I can’t help the way I’m acting,
I can’t help it though I try.
Just remember that I need you,
that the best of me is gone.
Please don’t fail to stand beside me,
love me ’till my life is gone.
