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?
We will be providing activities such as walking football, seated exercise boccia and kurling. The activities will be a mixture of low key physical activity and socialising. The sessions will be funded for 3 years and our goal is to ensure self-sustainability over this period. In addition to these activities we will also provide one off events/trips and help raise awareness of dementia over the 3 year period.
2. What are the challenges to delivering these outcomes from the perspective of your organisation?
- Attracting new people to the groups
- Ensuring the facilities are Dementia friendly
- Ensuring the staff facilitating know how to interact/manage and understand dementia
