Personalisation and growing old well with dementia

This Housing LIN Viewpoint no 81 looks at the origins and some of the tensions and shortcomings of personalisation for people growing old with dementia - aggravated as they are by financial stringency.

It includes two short sections on carers and self-funders, followed by a section on specific issues concerning growing old with dementia. The paper concludes with a summary of the writer's thoughts, focusing particularly on the community context, and a 10 point strategy for going forward.
