Abstract: Population ageing in Spain is driving a growing demand for long-term care (LTC) services, particularly for individuals with cognitive impairments resulting from neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s. While ageing reflects societal progress, it poses challenges for healthcare and LTC systems. In Spain, around 734,000 to 937,000 people live with dementia, and cognitive impairment affects 18.5% of those aged 65 and older, rising sharply in older age groups.
