Living life with dementia
Local Age UK and Age Concern contributions to quality outcomes for people living with dementia and their carers.
The aim of this guide is to show just some of the ways that local Age UKs and Age Concerns are making a difference to the lives of people living with dementia and their carers. Several of the services here show how people with dementia and carers are being supported to help themselves and each other. In particular, we focus on a wide range of community personal support services offering flexibility, support and enjoyment for older people living with dementia and their carers.
The guide:
- provides commissioners with clear and simple ideas for support and services that contribute to the nine key outcomes listed in the revised implementation plan
- presents a range of services for people living with dementia and their carers that local Age UKs and Age Concerns provide, often working in partnership with other organisations
- quotes older people living with dementia and carers who are using these services, bringing to life the ways in which policy can be translated into positive, practical and life-changing action.
