The Experience of Dementia in Ireland Survey 2023

The Alzheimer Society of Ireland is running a national survey to capture a snapshot of the experiences of people affected by dementia – those living with the condition and their families, caregivers and supporters. We want to understand more about your key challenges and what support is needed.

This research aims to use the information gathered from the survey in our political advocacy, service planning and awareness-raising about dementia.

To be eligible to take part in this study, the following people are needed:

• Individuals currently providing (informal) care or support to a family member or a friend who is living with dementia
• Persons living with dementia
• Participants can be located anywhere in the Republic of Ireland

If you are a current informal carer or supporter of a family member or person living with dementia, you can complete this survey version HERE. 

If you are a person living with dementia or supporting a person living with dementia to share their experiences, you can complete this version of the survey HERE. 

If you have any questions or would like to complete the survey over the phone, please call or text Research Officer Dr Diane O’Doherty at 087-7014331 or email [email protected]
