| Annotation | Intermediate care services for people with dementia are being developed in a number of areas, but current research on effectiveness is limited. The authors describe the initial evaluation of the Home Treatment Service (HTS) for People with Dementia in Eastern and Coastal Kent (ECK), a multidisciplinary service providing specialist mental health intermediate care for people with dementia. A range of meaningful and positive outcomes were identified for the majority of users and carers, preventing a breakdown of care in a significant number of cases. (RH). |
