In the UK, on average, it takes over 4 years to be correctly diagnosed with young onset dementia.
And to reach that point, the average person will see between 2 to 5 different consultants.
Dementia diagnosis rates for under 65s is 41%, compared to 68% for people aged over 65.
It’s going to be ok mum!
Our young onset dementia awareness campaign.
-
Professionals version.
Our professionals video is part of our powerful new video campaign aimed at raising awareness and understanding of young onset dementia. Our aim for this version, is that it acts as a catalyst to spark conversation, and helps to encourage collaboration between ourselves and professionals working across the spectrum of social care
Let’s collaborate.
Simply sharing, liking and commenting on our video, we’ll get closer to reaching those who need help the most. But we’d also like it it to start a conversation of between us. For more information about our campaign or to register your interest in a meeting with us:

If we all work together as one, we can make the difference.
The above stats are just a snapshot of the current social care landscape for those living with young onset dementia in the UK. Although there's a better knowledge and understanding of elderly dementia and resources and support are more accessible, we still have a long way to go.
Here at Wellburn, we understand that we alone don’t have all the answers - but we believe passionately that we are setting a benchmark for what is possible. And with the help of professionals within the social care journey, we can dramatically improve the lives of those who need help, support and the right level of care the most.

Working together to be part of the solution.
Every single one of us that works, operates and navigates the care sector, can be part of the solution. But we believe it will require better collaboration and understanding.
By joining forces, we can make sure that we’re working in unison, offering the right advice at the right time, with clear purpose, from a person showing early signs of young onset dementia to those who have been diagnosed and are looking for the right age appropriate care and support.

Join us on the journey.
It’s clear, all the numbers, statistics and research tell us that dementia numbers will continue to rise as the average age of our population increases. Which means even more burden on budgets, resources and specialist staff. All of which could potentially push dementia care, especially young onset dementia care even further down the priority list.
Now is the time to tackle the situation and for us all to work together to change the status quo. To offer a brighter, more positive outlook and to take the lead nationally as the region that changed the course of young onset dementia care for the better.
