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?
To improve staff awareness of Dementia and enable them to offer help and support to people with Dementia and their carers.
Make our Community Centre a safe place for people with Dementia to visit.
Our Community Club already has service users with early dementia and we wish to
understand their needs and the needs of their carers better.
2. What are the challenges to delivering these outcomes from the perspective of your organisation?
Staff being available to attend training.
