To start with asset is HRwhere the researcher has utilized them to assemble the essential data by utilizing poll. Next oneis time length in where entire examination includes finished inside the given time span. Tocoordinate this asset with the examination question, the researcher has isolated the whole timeterm in 20 weeks.2.2 Proposed research investigation in accordance with the agreed specification and procedureThere are two kinds of methods as are quantitative and qualitative in order to carry outthe present research there will be use of qualitative research data, as it is helpful in relation togather the whole information about the respondents (Melhuish, Beuzeboc and Guzmán, 2017).This is one of the effective tool to gather the specific information about the each thingseffectively. 2.3 Record and collect relevant data Theme 1: AgeAgeFrequency15 to 25 year225 to 35 year535 to 50 year1050 to 75 year275 Year above1Theme 2:GenderGenderFrequencyMale10Female10Theme 3: The causes of occurs dementia health issueDo you know the causes of occurs dementia health issue ?FrequencyYes15No5Theme 4:Which kind of dementia do you have ?Which kind of dementia do you have ?FrequencyAlzheimer's disease10Mixed dementia5Parkinson's disease2
