Annotation	The needs of older Asians with dementia and their carers were examined in a project carried out in an area with an Asian majority population in the Dartford and Gravesham area of North West Kent. The focus is on the identification of need and on factors which block access to care and support. The project was funded by the Mental Health Foundation and based at Alzheimer's and Dementia Support Services (ADSS), a local Kent charity. This article outlines the findings and general implications of the research. There are recommendations for practitioners and commissioners about raising awareness, service development and training. The report on the project, "Culture and care in dementia: a study of the Asian community in North West Kent", is published by Alzheimers and Dementia Support Services. (RH).
