Supporting people with dementia and their carers cover 160 x 226

With the growing number of people in England living with dementia, who instead of receiving integrated care across the health and social care system, are required to navigate complex and uncoordinated care pathways, this House of Commons report sets out the challenges facing people affected.

It acknowledges the importance of choice to stay living at home if diagnosed with dementia, and therefore recommends that although initiatives such as Dementia Friends and dementia-friendly communities have successfully increased awareness of dementia, more needs to be done for those living with dementia to be included in their local communities.
