| Annotation | This study aims to demonstrate how personalised technology can be used to support people with learning disabilities as they age and face the onset of dementia. It describes how the national learning disability charity Hft has been helping such people through its service at Old Quarries, a residential care home based in Gloucestershire. The case studies featured in the article show how individuals have used personalised technology to help them live independently and safely at home. (JL). |
