USEFUL NEW TOOLS AND REPORTS
Dementia and housing: An assessment tool for local commissioning (opens new window)
Commissioned by Public Health England in partnership with Alzheimer's Society, the Local Government Association and the Housing LIN, focuses on local commissioning processes and decision-making. The main principle being applied in this tool is that all available assets and resources need to be combined, both to create the conditions that reduce the risk of developing dementia, and to develop a framework of support to help those with dementia, their families and carers, to have as good a quality of life as possible.
