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?

When providing design and furnishing services to local supported housing schemes we will have dementia-friendly design at the heart of our ethos.  Our company aim is to provide design and furnishing services that result in supportive and enabling environments that everyone can enjoy.

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

The majority of our work is in the public sector so the main challenge will be budget availability.  We will look to provide the best dementia-friendly solutions we can to suit the budget available.

    2017 - First Quarter Update

    We have completed the install of a brand new extra care home - Village 135 in Wythenshawe, Manchester. Our designs include dementia-friendly elements throughout the communal areas. This will provide anyone living with dementia,whether a resident or member of the local community, with a relaxing and uplifting environment in which to socialise. The home is run by Wythenshawe Community Housing Group and is the first of its kind for this organisation. As such, we like to think their staff and visitors to the home will learn a little about how wonderful a dementia-friendly care home can look.

    We have contiuned this quarter to work on designs for a new dementia care home in Belfast. The home is being designed to the Dementia Services Development Centre's Gold standard for design.
