About 32,000 people suffer from dementia and this will rise to 52,000 in the next quarter of a century.
97,500 households have a carer looking after a person aged 65 or over.
Carers themselves suffer a "worrying" level of psychological distress.
Little or no support is given by the community care system.
Care managers should be appointed to organise support locally.
Money which would otherwise be spent on nursing home or other residential care should be diverted to helping people in the home where possible.
