AnnotationThis article describes the development of a new service for people with dementia and their carers in a large post-industrial city in the north of England. The Community Development Support Service arose in response to the perceived inadequacies of existing respite care provision in Sheffield. It has proved very successful in meeting the needs of people with dementia and their family carers, and in providing high levels of job satisfaction for staff. The success of the initiative can be understood using the Senses Framework and relationship-centred care as an analytic lens to identify key attributes of the service. The article also discusses implications for the development of support services more generally. (KJ/RH).
