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?
Our service is all about keeping people with dementia in their own home with our live in care workers, this enables people living with dementia to keep those familiar surroundings of the family home with them.
Awareness is a big issue so we can spread the work amongst other organisations involved with large groups of people, such as religious places of worship.
2. What are the challenges to delivering these outcomes from the perspective of your organisation?
Awareness on both fronts, awareness takes time and isn't something that can be delivered overnight.
