Not only dementia related.
A big help would be if insurers highlighted the benefits of having insurance in joint names or registering somebody to act on behalf the insuree if they are unable.

For companies not to charge more for loyalty!

I managed to reduce dad’s premiums from a wrapping £450 to just £99 for the same level of cover for house and contents insurance. This affects everyone who doesn’t check for the best price at every renewal but those with dementia are particularly vulnerable to this practice.

We need insurance to cover legal fees when abuse/negligent claims need to be addressed.
This insurance needs to cover abuse in a persons own home, from care workers, professionals in all areas of care....doctors, nurses, social services etc. it also needs to cover care homes, nursing homes and hospitals. Again it needs to cover negligence from all professional bodies connected to a person's care in those establishments.
Legal Costs are huge. Vulnerable people need to be professionally supported. Systems need to be in place to ensure they have funds to cover all legal costs. At all levels.

Make dementia a mitigating factor when considering whether an omitted non significant fact should be used as grounds for refuting a claim citing uberrimae fides.
