What dementia care involves

Dementia care is support from staff trained to help people living with dementia: keeping routines familiar, helping with eating and drinking, managing distress without relying on medication, and keeping people safe without taking away their independence. Providers register "dementia" as a specialism with CQC when they support people with it.
