Experience of Dementia in Ireland 2026 Survey
The Experience of Dementia in Ireland 2026 Survey is now open.
The Alzheimer Society of Ireland is seeking to understand what life with dementia is like in Ireland today.
We invite people living with dementia, family carers and supporters to take part in our national survey.
By sharing your experience, you will help us build a clearer picture of what is working well – and where change is needed.
Your insights will shape future services, advocacy, research and policy in Ireland.
Your voice matters. Even if you can only answer some questions, your responses make a difference.
The Experience of Dementia in Ireland 2026 Survey explores:
- Services and supports
- Health and wellbeing
- Daily experiences
- Cost of living
- Community supports and attitudes
- Challenges and what’s working well
Who Can Take Part
The Experience of Dementia in Ireland 2026 Survey is for:
People living with any form of dementia
Family Carers & Supporters
- Anyone aged 18 or over who supports or cares for a person living with dementia
- Family members, friends, neighbours or others providing unpaid support
- You do not need to be the primary carer to take part
Please do not complete this survey if you are a paid care professional
(e.g., home care worker, care assistant or nurse)
unless you also provide unpaid care to a family member or friend with dementia.
How to Take Part
We have designed two surveys:
- One for people living with dementia
- One for family carers and supporters
Each survey takes around 15-20 minutes to complete.
You can take breaks and return later if needed.
