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 can raise awareness locally of ways to support people with dementia and their families and carers and help create a dementia aware community.
2. What are the challenges to delivering these outcomes from the perspective of your organisation?
We have limited time and resources but will endeavour to make good use all we have to endeavour to create a Dementia Friendly Rotherham
