As populations around the world rapidly age, dementia is following as an increasingly serious global issue. In January 2015, the Japanese Government announced its revised national dementia strategy, the New Orange Plan. It is critical that dementia policy integrates the perspectives of persons with dementia and their families if Japan and other societies around the world are truly to support persons with dementia to live fulfilling and enriching lives even after being diagnosed with dementia.
