Jeremy Vine - 24/11/2009

Join Jeremy for news, views and live guests, with a focus on dementia as part of Radio 2's Living with Dementia campaign. All this week, as part of Radio 2's Living with Dementia campaign, Jeremy takes a closer look at dementia and what life is like for those people who have the illness, and for their loved ones. Jeremy shines a spotlight on the difficulties which arise from caring for a loved one with dementia, and in particular the strain of seeing somebody you love gradually lose their memory. Jeremy discusses this with Sarah Burnard who cared at home for her mother who had dementia. There will be further sources of information and support for people affected by dementia at bbc.co.uk/radio2. People can share their experiences with others through a special message board or post a question to our experts from the Alzheimer's Society. Support is also available through the Radio 2 helpline 0800 022 022. Calls are free from most landlines. Some networks and mobile operators will charge for these calls.
