Living alone with a neurodegenerative condition: A neglected inequality

Event date: 26/03/2025

About the event

In this webinar, we share findings from our recently-completed project on living alone with dementia or another neurodegenerative condition.

In this, the third webinar in our series, we share learning from our recently-completed policy research project on supporting people who live alone with dementia, Parkinson’s disease, motor neurone disease and Huntington’s disease. Some people live alone with family or a strong network of friends nearby. Other people have no support at all. Systems and services are often designed on the basis that everyone has a carer.

We wanted to understand:

  • how many people are likely living alone with a neurodegenerative condition?
  • what do existing research articles and recommendations tell us about living alone?
  • what can we learn from personal and professional experiences of living alone with a neurodegenerative condition, or supporting those who do?

Join DeNPRU Exeter Director and project lead Professor Linda Clare and team to hear about our findings! There will be a chance to ask questions of the speakers.
