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?

Costa coffee is visited by all types of people and allows a place for people to socialise and relax.

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

The organisation that we work in is a very fast paced environment; staff must take into consideration what they have learnt from the training and apply it.
