Friends of the Elderly launch new dementia strategy
Friends of the Elderly has launched a new dementia strategy entitled ‘The Wider View’.
The strategy, which spans 2026-2029, sets out Friends of the Elderly’s approach to supporting people living with dementia across their care homes and day care services.
The strategy has four key commitments:
- Developing a skilled and confident workforce
- Embedding a rights-based, anti-discriminatory care culture
- Delivering evidence-based care with continuous improvement
- Working collaboratively with families, communities and professionals
Yvette Carr, Friends of the Elderly’s Head of Dementia Care, says:
“Dementia care is not about doing more things to people. It is about understanding who they are, what they value and how we can support them to live well. The Wider View reflects our belief that good dementia care is thoughtful, relational and rooted in respect.”
