| Annotation | 'Living well with dementia: a national dementia strategy' (Department of Health, 2009) provides a strategic framework within which local services can deliver quality improvements to dementia services and address health inequalities relating to dementia. This essential guide highlights key issues of the national dementia strategy for care homes and implications for providers and managers of care home services. Information is drawn from the strategy document and page numbers are referenced. The implementation plan for the strategy can be found at (www.dh.gov.uk/dementia). The strategy is accompanied by an economic impact assessment, modelled over five years and is available on the Department of Health's dementia website. (KJ/RH). |
