1. Action Plan

1. The National Dementia Declaration lists seven outcomes that the DAA are seeking to achieve for people with dementia and their carers. How would you describe your organisation’s role in delivering better outcomes for people with dementia and their carers?

Many of our customers are vulnerable people living alone, a percentage of which are living with dementia. We acknowledge this in our planning and our staff recruitment process. Customer service is at the heart of our business and we provide training in customer care and specific dementia awareness.

We are constantly looking for ways we can improve our customer service and will be taking into account the difficulties that people living with dementia encounter, and we intend to factor these into our future planning.

2. What are the challenges to delivering these outcomes from the perspective of your organisation?

Time restraint

External environmental factors, eg bad weather, traffic conditions, roadworks.
