| Annotation | This is the first of two papers that aim to propose a revised model of care for dementia aimed at improving experiences and outcomes, and informing service redesign and commissioning. It draws conclusions from the combined findings of a number of projects commissioned across southern England. The key methodologies in all the studies included listening to people with dementia and carers, non-participant observation of services, and reviews of good practice, policy and literature. The paper proposes a revised values base for service development, identifying a six-phase dementia journey from the perspective of those living with dementia. The framework moves away from the medical model towards understanding dementia as a long term condition that affects a number of dimensions. Through understanding the dementia journey from the perspective of people living with dementia, it is possible to design and implement a range of services that help people plan for and manage their own journeys, provide interventions proactively and help prevent crises. The second paper will describe a full service model demonstrating how it could be applied. (JL). |
