The number of people with dementia admitted to hospital when it could be avoided is set to spiral, a charity has warned.
Figures from the Alzheimer’s Society, based on a snapshot of 45 NHS trusts in the UK, found that, even before the pandemic, avoidable hospital admissions were rising and it expects this could get worse due to inadequate social care.
The charity said that, in the last month alone, it has heard “shocking” reports of people with dementia losing the ability to walk, getting pneumonia, and being rushed to hospital with avoidable kidney damage from dehydration.
Data from 45 trusts under the Freedom of Information Act found a 27% rise between 2015 and 2019 in avoidable admissions for dementia patients, from 60,023 to 76,369.
