About dementia care

Staff trained in dementia aim for four things: familiar routines, enough to eat and drink, calm responses to distress that do not depend on medication, and safety that does not cost the person their independence. CQC records "dementia" as a specialism for each provider that supports people living with it.

Questions worth asking about dementia care

  1. Who would we call if we were worried at night or at a weekend?
  2. How do you get to know the person (life story, routines, likes and dislikes)?
  3. What dementia training do staff have, and how often is it refreshed?
  4. How will you keep the family involved as needs change?
  5. How do you help with eating and drinking when appetite drops?
