| Annotation | This paper aims to share the concept of long term domestic placements for people with dementia, and to encourage the development of family placements as an alternative to residential care. Since 1993, the Central Region Social Work Department in Scotland has developed an innovative fostering scheme for three people with dementia living in separate family homes. Whilst carers have a demanding job, and professional staff time is required, adult placements extend the options available for those who are no longer able to live independently. Photographs provide further evidence that the scheme is worthwhile for all concerned. |
