TO SUPPORT THE PROVISION OF MEANINGFUL ACTIVITY FOR PEOPLE WITH DEMENTIA IN CARE HOMES, IN THEIR OWN HOMES OR IN THE COMMUNITY
Having witnessed the majority of people with dementia in care homes becoming institutionalised, bored and sometimes consequently depressed, with minimal and often token provision of activities on offer, the trustees believe that much more emphasis on maintaining people’s activities on entry to and during their stay in care homes is required. Similarly this kind of provision may also be required for people who continue to stay in their own home and in their own communities but who need support to maintain activities whether at home or in a community setting.
