What dementia care support can include

Dementia care should adapt to the person’s history, routines, communication and changing needs. A CQC rating is useful evidence, but it does not by itself show whether a home is the right environment for a particular person.

What to check before choosing

  • Staff training and experience supporting the person’s type and stage of dementia
  • A calm, understandable and secure environment that supports independence
  • Personalised care planning, meaningful activity and communication with families
