Fully fund Good/Outstanding residential care for all people living with dementia
Dementia affects people of all ages and can create unsafe home conditions, breaking many families physically and mentally. Privatised residential care is very expensive. We urge the Government to reallocate welfare funding for Care Quality Commission-rated Good or Outstanding dementia care.

Increase available support for people with young-onset dementia
We call on policymakers and health authorities to increase available support for people with young-onset dementia as currently some support is only available to people of state pension age. Additional resource should also be made available to improve chances of early diagnosis.
Require dementia training for all patient-facing NHS staff
We believe that people with dementia face avoidable harm in hospitals due to inconsistent training and poor accountability. We need mandatory dementia training for all staff and national standards to ensure safe, compassionate, and consistent care across every NHS hospital.
Require NHS to start priority triage & discharge pathways for dementia patients
Make NHS hospitals implement priority triage and faster discharge pathways for people with dementia when the medical condition is treated & home or community care is available. Formally recognise that delay in discharge can cause rapid deterioration and should be treated as a clinical risk.
Provide funding for Veterans to remain in care homes
We call on the Government to create a fund to ensure that Veterans in Care Homes are not forced to change homes when their own private funding runs out. This can be especially hard for Veterans living with Dementia
Care home hosting free dementia awareness event
A local care home is providing a free community event offering education and guidance on understanding dementia.
