14th National Dementia Care Awards will be held at Cutlers’ Hall, Sheffield

Main Sponsor:
Outstanding Innovation in Dementia Care (sponsored by KYN)
This award recognises the vital role of new and stimulating innovations in developing high quality services for people living with dementia.
Lifetime Achievement Award
This award will be made to an exceptional individual who, over a significant portion of their life, has been dedicated to improving the quality of life of people with dementia they have worked with.
Outstanding Practice in Dignity and Respect (sponsored by Care UK)
This award will be made to an exceptional service or team that can convincingly demonstrate that it has put dignity and respect for people living with dementia and those who support and care for them at the very heart of all it does, and that this emphasis has resulted in tangible benefits for all involved.
Best Inclusive Dementia Care in our Diverse Society (sponsored by Wolverhampton University)
This award will be won by a service which succeeds in providing inclusive dementia care that recognises the diverse needs of people from diverse communities, and which either provides tailored support to a particular disadvantaged community or strives to make a general service more responsive to the needs of individuals who belong to disadvantaged communities, particularly members of groups protected by the Equality Act 2010.
Best Activity Provider/ Lifestyle Lead – sponsored by NAPA
This award will be made to a person within a care home or community setting with more than 50% of people living with dementia who has made an exceptional contribution to the quality of life, health and happiness of all the people they work with through the activities they facilitate.
Most Inspiring Leader in Dementia Care
Dementia care needs people who inspire. This award will therefore go to an individual who has inspired colleagues, by teaching or by personal example, to go the extra mile and provide outstanding care in any dementia-focused environment.
Outstanding Dementia Care Team
This award will be made to a dementia-focused team which has developed and maintained an outstanding standard of care within any care setting. The judges will be looking for evidence of excellent and sustained teamwork which has delivered positive outcomes, combined with innovation and a strong sense of person-centred care.
Best Dementia Care Home
This award will be made to a dementia-focused care home with 70% or more residents living with dementia which provides an outstanding environment with exceptional standards of care and support for people with dementia as well as relatives and staff. Deservedly, the home will be highly respected in the local community
Outstanding Provider of Dementia Care in the Community
This award recognises the vital role of community providers in supporting individuals to live their best lives with dementia. The judges will evaluate evidence of co-production in the design and delivery of community-based approaches engaging people living with dementia in meaningful occupation, enrichment, connection and enjoyment.
Outstanding Approach to Supporting People Living with Dementia using Creativity and the Arts
This award will be made to a person or team demonstrating outstanding person-centred practice using arts-inspired creative approaches to improve the lived experience of people affected by dementia. Nominees will be required to provide evidence of meaningful engagement of people living with dementia in arts-based activities and positive outcomes enhancing quality of life.
