Experience of Dementia in Ireland 2026 Survey
Message from the Alzheimer Society of Ireland:
‘We are pleased to share that the ASI has launched our flagship Experience of Dementia in Ireland 2026 Survey!
This survey is held every three years, and captures the lived experiences of people living with dementia and their families, and findings will inform advocacy, service development, and policy work at the ASI and beyond.
We would want to reach as many people with dementia and carers as possible, as we know that everyone affected by dementia has a unique experience’ Please see attached flyer to get more information.
