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 support all clients with daily living with dementia we promote independence and ensuring our client obtain the best possible care for their needs we would like to seek more information about events and support in the community and to help families and relatives to understand dementia and the best way they can support their relatives in the home.
2. What are the challenges to delivering these outcomes from the perspective of your organisation?
Training is problem. Funding is also a big issue here and it can be difficult to fundraise sometimes too.
