Dr Jo Wilson dies after three-year battle with dementia
A Woman with dementia, who The Bbc has followed for months as her husband battled to secure care for her, has died.
Dr Jo Wilson , from Newcastle, was a business executive before she was diagnosed in 2020.
After weeks of delays, she moved into Residential Care earlier this month but died on Saturday, aged 69.
Her husband, Bill, said he wanted their case to highlight health and social care issues.
Dr Wilson trained as a nurse but went on to become a high-achieving international businesswoman before her illness took hold.
The couple had been together for almost 50 Years but, as the dementia tightened its grip, Mr Wilson had to look after his wife around The Clock .
He previously described the care system as " broken".
He told Bbc News : " I've done all this because I want to see change happen. Change can only happen if people stand on the rooftop and shout about dementia.
" There's a huge disparity between being ill - That is treatable by the NHS - and the illness of dementia. Nothing is free, we have to pay for everything. "
Mr Wilson said it had taken two years to initially get a Care Package put in place for his wife, but only after she suffered a fall and in hospital was one was finally agreed.
He found home visits from carers frustrating due to frequent changes of staff, unreliable timekeeping and a lack of understanding of dementia.
Speaking in October, He Said which would have seen their savings used to cover the cost.
Current rules meant their local council would fund a place in a care home only when their owns funds had been exhausted.
Tyneside-based charity Dementia Matters was eventually able to step in to provide a residential bed.
Changes designed to help people cover their personal care costs are due to come into effect in October with moves including a more generous means-test and a lifetime cap on care costs of £86,000.
However, if the rollout of reforms is not delayed for a year.
The Department for Health and Social Care says it is investing £5. 4bn over three years to reform adult social care and " protect people from unpredictable social care costs".
