| Overall ranking | 14 |
| JLA question ID | 0064/14 |
| Explanatory note | This question came from both health professionals and carers. Health professionals worded their concerns very much in the way that the question is asked. However, carers voiced their concerns in a more indirect manner. For example, they would ask whether their relative's cognitive decline could be due to the fact that they didn’t see anyone or do anything all day in their care home? |

None identified that applied directly to all conditions in the over 85s |
