Extra Care Housing Dementia Schemes

Jas Yembra 07/09/11 General Housing Topics

We are developing a new ECH scheme for older people with dementia. Does anyone have a specification they can share with me as a starting point for developing our service locally?

Dear Jaz, I would advise you to look at the Dementia section of our website at: www.housinglin.org.uk/Topics/browse/HousingandDementia/
The resources in these pages are split between six topics (Commissioning / Provision / Design and Built Environment / Practice, workforce and training / Legislation / Useful links) and are full of information about meeting the needs of people with dementia in housing settings - particularly, but not exclusively, extra care housing.
